How would the elections have played out? Would Ted Gatsas still have his job as mayor of Manchester and would the Democrats have the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey?

VA Special Senate Election (Kaine's seat):
Mark Herring (D): 47%
Scott Rigell (R): 45%

VA Gubernatorial Election:
Ed Gillespie (R): 45%
Ralph Northam (D): 44%

NJ Gubernatorial Election:
Phil Murphy (D): 52%
Kim Guadagno (R): 46%

NYC Mayoral Race:
Bill de Blasio (D-WF): 61%
Nicole Malliotakis (R-C): 30%

Atlanta Mayoral Race:

IDK for the special elections as it depends on her cabinet.

Even with Clinton as POTUS there is no way the GOP would keep the race that close. Republicans had given up mostly before election day 2016; Christie would have too unpopular for Guadagno to stay in single digits

Mostly the same, though with narrower margins. Herring wins Kaine's senate seat.

Pretty horrible. Remember, Hillary Clinton isn't popular, like, at all. Some have her less popular then Trump. Democrats would probably still flip New Jersey, but they would lose Virginia. And they would definitely lose the Alabama Senate election.

There would not have been an Alabama senate election with President Hillary Clinton. It only happened because Donald Trump picked Sessions to be AG.

Norwood would have won in Atlanta. The whole hook to vote against her was Donald Trump with phrases like “remember what happened the last time we didn’t vote”.

I know it wouldn't have, I'm just saying if a special election did somehow happen between Roy Moore and Doug Jones in a Hillary Clinton administration, Moore would have won.

Murphy still would have won. I think Northam would have also won but by a much smaller margin. Herring would have also won narrowly for Kaine's newly vacated seat. The state legislature gains for the Democrats, if any at all, would be fairly meager in Virgnia and elsewhere. I'm not so sure that a Clinton administration would have been as unpopular and I don't think Virginia would have turned against her so easily.
If the Democrats were going to suffer under a Clinton Presidency I think it would be moreso with the 2018 elections, specifically in the Senate. Herring probably would have lost then.

Warren likely would've gotten a position, but dems win special 53-44 or so.
