*** Election Night LiveWire *** Results in New York, New Jersey, Virginia
Socialist Zohran Mamdani will complete his hostile takeover of the Democratic Party nationally, assuming the polls are correct and he is elected mayor of New York on Tuesday. When the race is called, assuming he wins, Mamdani will have succeeded in supplanting the rest of his party and become the most prominent Democrat in America.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Republican Jack Ciatarelli is looking to score a surprise victory over Democrat Mikie Sherill in the Garden State gubernatorial race. In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger is seeking to reclaim the governor’s mansion for her party against Republican Winsome Earl-Sears, despite a Democratic scandal in which attorney general candidate Jay Jones may have threatened not only his own chances but the prospects of his entire party with text messages wishing his Republican opponents gruesome deaths.
In Pennsylvania, voters can fire three different Democratic Supreme Court justices, and in California, voters are deciding whether to support Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s brazen ploy to give Democrats five additional seats in the House of Representatives. In Minneapolis, another Islamic socialist, Omar Fateh, is seeking to become mayor of that city.
All of these races and more across the country will take place in Tuesday’s off-year elections — the first major elections in the United States since President Donald Trump’s miraculous victory last year that propelled Republicans to majorities in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
The real story Tuesday is not so much a reading of the national tea leaves — almost every major election, except for Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings, is in blue cities and says Trump has never won — but the direction Democrats will take as a party, one year removed from their embarrassing defeat to Trump and one year removed from the all-important 2026 midterm elections. Analysts will try to interpret this year’s results one way or another. on another, but the real story here is this: As the Democratic government shutdown — in which House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer were forced by their party’s radical base to shut down the government — enters record shutdown territory, the far left is ascendant within the Democratic Party.
What’s more, Democrats are increasingly turning to deep state stooges like Spanberger and Sherill – who look just like the current senator. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) – to try to win the election. They all have military or intelligence backgrounds, so seeing Democrats having to embrace outright socialist extremism bordering on communism or scary deep statists to win elections is a fascinating turn for a party that once presented itself as the representative of the working class in America. Of course, all this comes as key analyzes show that Democrats are the party of the rich — they now represent more than 76% of the 30 richest congressional districts, a stark change from just a few years ago — as Breitbart News revealed last week.
So while Democrats will almost certainly celebrate what will likely be a handful of victories for them on Tuesday — and Republicans hold out hope for an upset or two or three in different places — the real story, with this growing trend for Democrats, is whether or not they can course-correct now that Tuesday’s elections are coming to a close and pull their party out of the cosmopolitan gutter that is forcing them to limit themselves geographically ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
Polls begin to close in Virginia at 7 p.m. ET, and more polls will close in other locations throughout the evening. Follow here on Breitbart News for the latest news and analysis as the results come in.
UPDATE 8:08 p.m. ET:
Early results come in in New Jersey with 12 percent responding, and Democrat Mikie Sherrill is in the lead with 54.4 percent, compared to 45 percent for Republican Jack Ciatarelli. It’s early, but this one will probably be closer than Virginia.
UPDATE 8:02 p.m. ET:
Fox News and the Associated Press joined CNN in calling Virginia for Spanberger, which means it’s official: A deep state Democratic operative will be Virginia’s next governor.
UPDATE 8 p.m. ET:
Polls are now closed in New Jersey and results are expected shortly.
UPDATE 7:58 p.m. ET:
It’s worth noting that Earle-Sears went all-in for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the 2024 primary against President Donald Trump. She viciously attacked Trump right after the 2022 midterm elections, and never really repaired her relationship with the then-former and now-current president.
UPDATE 7:57 p.m. ET:
CNN announced the Virginia governor’s race for Spanberger. What a disappointment for Earle-Sears as a candidate.
UPDATE 7:50 p.m. ET:
With 27 percent responding, Spanberger holds steady at 54.7 percent while Earle-Sears lags behind at 45.1 percent. Once again, the race for attorney general is within one percent.
UPDATE 7:35 p.m. ET:
With 12 percent of Virginia reporting, Spanberger’s lead returned to double digits — 55.3 percent to 44.5 percent — over Earle-Sears. Miyares, meanwhile, trails by just over one percent, 50.4 percent for Jones to 49.2 percent.
UPDATE 7:29 p.m. ET:
Miyares is now in the lead, but Earle-Sears still lags behind Spanberger. If this trend continues, the proper after-action analysis will focus on the actual candidates, not the political environment.
UPDATE 7:27 p.m. ET:
At 4 percent now, Spanberger’s lead has been reduced to single digits in percentage terms – but Earle-Sears is several percent behind Miyares who is one percent behind Jones.
UPDATE 7:21 p.m. ET:
With 2 percent now in Virginia, Democrat Spanberger’s lead fell to just under 8,000 votes — 56.3 percent to 43.5 percent — over Republican Earle-Sears, according to the New York Times.
UPDATE 7:17 p.m. ET:
Things are getting a little tighter as more votes come in in Virginia, but a new narrative to watch is whether Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares outperforms Earle-Sears. Miyares seems to be in the very first results, a little ahead of her. This is most likely due to the Jay Jones texting scandal that tore apart the Democratic attorney general candidate’s campaign.
UPDATE at 7:13 p.m. ET:
Early results are in in the Virginia gubernatorial race, according to the New York Times, and Democrat Spanberger has a huge lead, 63.3 percent to Republican Earle-Sears’ 36.6 percent. Less than 1 percent are reporting it and it’s still early.
UPDATE 7:05 p.m. ET:
Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report has an interesting thread on the Virginia House of Delegates races and how we might read more into the midterm prospects than the top of the more attention-grabbing races tonight.
The gist of his argument is that the number of seats Democrats won could foreshadow their energy as a party ahead of the midterm elections:
UPDATE 7:02 p.m. ET:
A CNN exit poll shows Democrat Abigail Spanberger getting 61 percent of female voters and gaining independent and suburban voters, while Republican Winsome Earle-Sears gets only 37 percent of women and losing both independent and suburban voters. This doesn’t bode well for Earle-Sears.
UPDATE 7 p.m. ET:
Polls in Virginia are now closed and results are expected shortly. CNN says the race is too close to be held in Virginia.
