They're not really helpful in telling us anything beyond the fact that Democrats have performed well in special elections with low turnout. But this was also used as a reason to prove Trump would lose and he didn't.

Democrats have built a coalition that turns out in these elections, which is hopeful for 2026 but not sure what it means in regards to Trump overall. He's an unusual case.
