 Congrats to Lee Carter for defeating the incumbent House GOP Whip

Lee Carter looks like a little boy, is probably in his 20s & he beats the incumbent House GOP Whip. Haha - Good night for Democrats & Bernie folks in "Swing State" Virginia !

Another Our-Revolution endorsed candidate wins. 3 out of 4 have already won.

HoD 2 - Jennifer Foy 63%, Mike Makee 37%, 96% in

Only person trailing who has been endorsed by Our-Revolution -

HoD81 - Kimberly Tucker 42% with 59% reporting (& the GOP won 70% in 2017 & Trump won close to 60%, so this is a strong GOP one).

If all the leads hold firm, Dems could take the HoD 51-49 ! It is going to be close !

 Congratulations Elizabeth @guzman4delegate for being the first Latina elected to the Virginia House of Delegates!

NYT is projecting a 8.8% win for Northam - "Swing State Virginia"

This is the mailer the GOP sent last week against Lee Carter, who just defeated the Republican House Majority Whip.

And the kid beat the House GOP Whip. Anyways, Dems leading in 54 seats & have won 37 already. It is the other 17 seats they are leading which will decide.

Looks like the HoD may turn blue.

[Shadows]

Dems have won 42, leading in 9. If they hold on it will be 52-41, 2-3 races are extremely close. The HoD will go down to the wire.

Charlotte, NC elected its first black woman mayor (who I assume is a Dem).

Northam wins and Dems make gains in the VA HOD.

Murphy picks up the NJ seat for the Dems, and the Dems are likely to increase their margins in the NJ legislature.

De Blasio wins re-election.

Larry Krasner wins the DA spot in Philly.

The first female (Dem) mayor elected in Manchester, NH.


If I was a Republican, tonight would be misery for me.

A DSA supported Berniecrat whom the GOP called a Communist beat the GOP House Whip in Virginia by 10%.

A trasnsgender woman got elected to the HoD as did the 1st Latina woman (A Berniecrat).

And De Blasio is going to win pretty big. Can't see 1 good thing for the Republicans !

@Shadows: can you please shorten your signature significantly? Like no taller than 40% of what it is now. Atlas has new signature rules, and it's way too big.

Okay !

[Shadows]

Dems have won 47, leading in 4 (51). GOP will win 2-3 close seats by less than 1%, probably will go to a recount !

@AnnCoulter
 .@EdWGillespie got the Trump voters! (White non-college grads) But thanks to immigration, there aren't enough of them in VA for GOPs to win anymore.

If @realDonaldTrump doesn't keep his campaign promise to build a wall & deport illegals, what happened to VA will happen to the entire country.

I hope @realDonaldTrump notices that the votes of felons and immigrants have made VA a solid Democratic state.

Hey @EdWGillespie! If your pals, George Bush & Haley Barbour, had been a little less enthusiastic about open borders, you would have won tonight.

This is how the Democratic Party wins "the war of ideas": We're going to WIN by getting felons to vote and bringing in immigrants to vote for us!

This "White Supremacist" vile woman creates non-nonsensical arguments for the loss & then equates immigrants to felons. Guess she is trying to replace David Duke.

The HoD may end up 50-50 !

JFern, no.

Berniecrats and Centrists won side by side, why can't you shut up and enjoy a victory?

3 out of 4 Our-Revolution candidates won in NJ, one beat the GOP Whip. Our-Revolution candidates went 7 for 7 in Somerville, Mass. Krasner is the new DA, multiple DSA folks won.

And Northan & Murphy both won comfortably. Good night for Democrats, for centrists & progressives. Bad night for Trump & conservatives. Nothing to be an unhappy about for anyone.
