Glenn Youngkin has clinched the governor's race in Virginia. In fact, the GOP dominated the Old Dominion, sweeping all three major statewide races. Republicans won the lieutenant governor and attorney general races. They're poised to flip the House of Delegates. It's over in Virginia—but up the road on I-95, we have another close race in New Jersey. Yes, you read that right. The state has been a graveyard for Republicans, except for Chris Christie, Tom Kean, and Christine Todd Whitman. No one thought Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy was in danger. No one thought this was going to be a competitive race. It is. It's tight. Even if Phil Murphy ekes out a win, it's nowhere near the margin of his 2017 victory.
The message is clear. Not even the deep blue sanctuary that is the Garden State can stomach the far Left's agenda. Joe Biden won New Jersey by 16 points in 2020—and we're in a dead heat here. In some counties, Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is overperforming Chris Christie's 2009 levels.
We shall see. We'll keep an eye on this. Essex County, which encompasses the city of Newark, had a big Democrat dump, but Jack is still in the lead. He's holding.
CNN's Jake Tapper might have had a "Captain Obvious" moment, but it's still satisfying.
"The mood of the country is not with the Democratic Party right now."
Indeed, sir.

Ciattarelli 51.4, Murphy 47.8 with 52% of the vote in.
Even if Murphy pulls this out, this is a state Biden won by 16 points. Question now is: How can Democrats sign on to the president’s agenda given how toxic he is?
NJ was suppose to be a slam dunk for the Ds. This is very interesting
Depends totally on how many mail in ballots are out.
I just saw the NJ GOP State chair. The effort down ballot all the way to school board was impressive.
NJ has a history of going RED when the White house goes BLUE (or Brown in Joe’s case)...and vice versa... there were other gains for the GOP in NJ at in State House and County races too. Even if Jack doesn’t win.... NJ got a little more RED.
Yup...certain looks that way.
MSNBC reports Bergen County is delivering a heavy load of “mail-in ballots” to be counted. I expect NJ to flip momentarily, as a result.
CNN CALLS IT FOR US!!
Atlantic County and Burlington went hard red.
Which one?
How do we know they won’t “find” millions of new votes?
Hmm, I wonder if it’s too early for me to go over to DU Underground to indulge in some schadenfreude tears lolol.
GOP Ciattarelli, Jack 1,077,387 50.1%
Dem Murphy, Philip i 1,057,158 49.16%

All that Trump-dominated media brainwashed the voters of color into opposition to Biden's handlers' mask- and vaccine mandates. That's what done it! /s
Better wait a few days so Demonrats can have their way.

All the majors but Fox have called Virginia for Youngkin.
Thanks. Just saw where the rest have followed on. Except AP and Fox.
Ja vell, this Pennsylvania Trumper watched defeat snatched from the jaws of victory one year ago.
Too soon to celebrate.
Hope I am wrong.
