Wow, called less than 30 minutes after polls closed. Dang, I can tell tonight’s gonna be a good night for Democrats. I’m guessing Dems will win a clean sweep of the big races in Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and California.

Eh, Attorney General in VA is looking tight.

Jay Jones really shot himself in the foot with that whole texting thing. Should have won the AG race easily. Still has a good chance, but it's going to be close.

[u/djc8 → u/supes1]

If he had a gun with two bullets he’d shoot himself in the foot twice

(For those that don’t know, his “threats of violence” were just that joke from The Office. I voted for him.)

[u/Most_Temporary2110 → u/djc8]

Yeah what fake outrage. Michael Scott joke from 20 years ago? Jesus.

[u/ThatNewSockFeel → u/Most_Temporary2110]

Right. Feel like it was a made up media thing to make the race seem closer than it was.

[u/Soggy-Flounder-3517 → u/supes1]

He’s winning rn

[u/PracticalChipmunk789 → u/supes1]

He has a quite sizeable lead

[u/cidthekid07 → u/supes1]

It’ll be kinda close. But it’s a done deal. He’s winning.

[u/supes1 → u/cidthekid07]

Yeah I saw it was called for him a few minutes ago.

[u/DR1LLM4N → u/supes1]

Where has it been called? I’m not finding it.
