Thanks so much for being here. Let’s jump in!
VIRGINIA
Democratic Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger won in a landslide last night, with a whopping 15.2% margin as of this writing. It took only 19 minutes for the race to be called, making her the first woman who will serve as governor of the commonwealth.
In her victory speech, Spanberger stated: “A few minutes ago, Adam said to our daughters, ‘Your mom’s going to be the Governor of Virginia.’ And I can guarantee those words have never been spoken in Virginia ever before.”
VA Dems also won the races for Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and picked up an astonishing 13 seats in the House of Delegates. All flips from the GOP.
NEW JERSEY
In what was supposed to be one of the closest races of the night, Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill was declared the projected winner less than 13 minutes after polls closed. As of this writing, Sherrill won by 13%.
During her victory speech, Sherrill said: “We take oaths to the Constitution, not a king … I’m working for everyone. Every single one of you … So tomorrow begins a new day.”
NEW YORK CITY
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani handily defeated Trump-endorsed Andrew Cuomo by 8.8%, according to the most recent results.
In his rousing victory speech, Mamdani stated: “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is [New York City]. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.”
OTHER BIG WINS
Folks overwhelmingly voted to retain 3 Democratic Supreme Court Justices in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. With each of the justices getting over 61%, liberals maintain their 5-2 majority on the court.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Prop 50 was approved by a landslide margin of 27.5% as of this writing.
In Georgia, Dems won statewide races for the first time since 2006, defeating two Republican incumbents with at least 63% of the vote.
The lone Republican member of the City Council in Orlando, Florida, was defeated in a major upset. The longtime GOP incumbent only garnered 31% of the vote.
And JD Vance’s half brother got trounced in his run for Mayor of Cincinnati, with less than 22% of the vote as of this morning.
Even though we crushed it in elections across the board last night, now is not the time to ease up or slow down. That’s why we’re already back at it today—dismantling maga propaganda with our top-ranked daily news briefs, our Contact Congress efforts, and our enormous social media campaigns.

It feels as if America has spoken and is tired of the endless cruelty, chaos and corruption. The Fox meltdown and MAGA tears are epic.
