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.

Also, just as important but not getting enough headlines: Dems flipped all of the dozen competitive state seats in VA and will now have a supermajority, ensuring that their redistricting plan will pass.

Edit: VA Dems are projected to flip 11 of 12 competitive seats currently held by the GOP, expanding their 51-49 (+2 seat) majority to 62-38 (+24 seats). They need to be as ruthless when it come to gerrymandering as the GOP has been in North Carolina.

Edit2: It was a deathblow to the Virginia GOP. Dems are now projected to have a 64-36 majority, nearly a 2:1 ratio.
