PHOENIX (AP) — Democratic governors who met over the weekend in Arizona say the party must focus on affordability in next year’s midterm elections. They aim to build on wins last month in governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia by addressing everyday concerns such as housing prices, rent and grocery costs. The strategy seeks to unite Democrats across the ideological spectrum while confronting President Donald Trump’s policies. Yet there are risks if economic conditions change for the better or if Democrats fail to deliver on their promises. Governor’s offices will be up for election in 36 states next year.
