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.
“Depends totally on how many mail in ballots are out.”
Do you mean “Bail Out Votes”?
Merely reporting a partial count. Not even hearing the large lady warming up.
These two campaigns were well prepared.
I keep hearing about several red counties not yet reporting their votes, as well as (of course) some of the usual suspect blue cities. I really hope the Republicans have finally figured out how to counter the dem games and are in a Mexican standoff, refusing to show theirs until the dems go first.
The Dems will just unload the ballots they “found” at 2 AM.
F’ Fox News!
Paul Ryan is trash!!!!
Santorum is actually making some good points on Newsmax.
Ah, yes - New Jersey, birthplace of the 1982 consent decree which handcuffed the Pubbies until the 2018 election, courtesy of Hero of the Soviet Democrats, federal stooge-judge Dickinson Debevoise, who relinquished his death grip on the Pubbies at the ripe old age of 91.
He would come in once a year to renew the consent decree, which required the Republicans to ignore open and notorious Democrat Party vote fraud.
It’s gonna be a nail biter - as of 5 minutes ago

This should be a wake-up call for the Dems, but alas, they are too arrogant to get it.
How do we know they won’t “find” millions of new votes?
‘The Dems will just unload the ballots they “found” at 2 AM.’
Where’s my suitcase?
I’m from west of the Delaware.
This is deja vu 11/03-02/2020.
PLEASE prove me wrong!
the count seems to be stuck at 80%......where did we see this before?

Good grief, multiple posts, sorry. A disturbance in the Farce!
It all came from the school board level and worked its way up.
Lots of salty tears on DU and the posting is very light due to depression.
Their reach exceeded their grasp.
Thanks for the clarification.
I looked at counties with outstanding votes. The R is a very long shot to actually win, but the instructive part of this is that this should’ve been a layup for the Ds. The fact that it’s a tight race bodes very badly for the left. It means the race for the house in 22 is likely to be a bloodbath for the dems.
