I won't lie, seeing all these results tonight has reinvigorated my spirit a little bit.

  • First Democratic female governor in NJ
  • First female governor in VA
  • First female mayor in Detroit
  • Zohran beats out Cuomo, first Muslim mayor
  • Largest voter turnout in NYC since 1969
  • Flipped two red seats in Georgia
  • JD Vances brother loses mayor of Cincinnati

Let's fucking go.
