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!
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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 adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
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

Our wings are not tired.
The turnout numbers were incredible. Double from the last NTC mayoral contest. Also huge turnout in the other races. We had no election here. It was a fun night!
My only hope is that the sheep will realize that Trump's endorsements mean nothing. I get that they have other reasons to fear his wrath, but being primaried isn't one of them. Who would have thought that MTG would be the one GOP Rep. to point out that her fellows were weak?
