Governor’s shows in New Jersey and Virginia prove both parties
The only 2025 governor races are just two months away, providing one of the largest evidence for both matches since the last presidential elections. The confrontations in New Jersey and Virginia will allow each side of the hall to evaluate their messages before the leaders of Lates next year: Democrats hope to have an Anti-Trump enthusiasm, while Republicans seek to replicate their impulse.
The Republican party feels safe in the state of Garden, who had one of the largest swings towards Trump in 2024. Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli has aligned with the president and has won his support, but he has to balance that he also wins the voters out of his party. The popularity of the current Democratic governor Phil Murphy could also complicate things.
Meanwhile, the blue candidate of New Jersey, the congresswoman and former pilot of the Marina Mikie Sherrill, positions herself as a fighter willing to call her own party. It is focusing its campaign around affordability, a key issue for voters fighting with the high cost of living of the State.
In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger has been successful in the surveys when exploiting the republican lieutenant of Governor Winsome Earle-Sears on Trump’s mass tax cut, putting the economic problems at the forefront of his message. Spanberger, a former congressman, also obtained the support of the largest police union.
Even so, Earle-Sears is approaching after shaking his staff and focusing on “common sense.” He is trying to join the Republican governor limited by term Glenn Youngkin, who is still popular in the state.

Personnel choice: on divided university campus, a high -tech impulse to promote a healthy debate
An endless digital ink has been spilled in the last decade on how university students transformed the campus of the research centers into places where only the so -called ideas of awakening are welcome. Now high -tech tools are offering a solutionpromising to make university students more open, and more pleasant, when they discuss.
I looked for several new chat platforms that push students to practice disagreement. The creators told me that they hope to establish campus for a healthy civil discourse.
Among the most prominent is a program called dialogues, created by businessman Sal Khan, which allows high school students to discuss classmates in Zoom. Then, students qualify for each other to how well they handle the conflict and share the results with the universities when they request.
Critics say that too many students open their way through it, and two prominent universities have already retired from accepting these transcripts. But Khan says he builds bridges and pushes people from his bubbles, noting that 2,500 students have tried it in the last five months. And Buzz is only growing around the other options aimed at current university students and promising to transform the way they disagree.
