If it helps the Democrats here any, the new mayor of Indianapolis is a Democrat, Joe Hogsett.

Yeah,  the Democrats are doing really well in the NJ legislature as well.

It really seems like Country = Republicans and Cities = Democrats is becoming all too true across the country.

It's the point I've made for a decade on this forum. Over the last three decades the Dems moved from a labor party to an urban party. Some say that started after the 1984 presidential defeat of the last  traditional New Deal Dem. Clinton certainly used the shift by 1992 to pick up urban elites (ie upper middle class suburbanites) successfully. Then in the 90's the Pubs moved to flip rural Dem counties in a trend that continues to this day.

The shift from labor vs business to urban vs rural is the real realignment of this era.
