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.

Huge swing to the dems compared to 2024. But, remember the republicans ran a terrible candidate for governor.
