JD Vance's half-brother was running as a mayoral candidate in Cincinnati, but he was defeated pretty soundly, thank god. And it looks like the NYC race was called for Mamdani, hooray! Plus female Democratic governors in Virginia and New Jersey. Pretty fucking good so far!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There are some nice results coming in from the eastern side of the country tonight. Steph, you’re a proud Cincinnatian, right? Congrats on kicking Vance’s half-brother back into whatever hole he crawled out of to try and be mayor.
ETA: jinx!
He didn't just lose; he lost by a HUGE margin! It's so satisfying!
Yaaasssssss Mamdani!
Prop 50 called as a W as polls close.
Dems swept the VA State House, won the 2 governorships in NJ and VA, and held the PA Supreme Court.
And Prop 50 won by a WIDE margin.
I'm feeling... hopeful? Is that this feeling?
Whew, I’m having a hard time winding from all this good news and catching the Mamdani speech (happened on a stream just as he was coming out to speak, pretty great!)
I sure like this year's Election Day a whole lot better than last year's.
Congratulations, NYC. Maybe Zohran can call up Sadiq Khan over in London and they can swap notes on how to deal with racist shithead Islamophobes.
Such a contrast to last year! Similar not sleepiness, opposite vibe
