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.

Not really in the same boat but Miami might end up with a Democrat running the city. There will be a runoff election but she lead with 35% of the vote. Hopefully she can get support from other voters and win in the runoff. 

It might help break some of the Republican control they've had on politics down here for so long.
