Democrat Annie Andrews will defeat Republican Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina’s U.S. Senate race, NBC News projected Tuesday night, delivering Democrats a striking pickup in a state Republicans have dominated for decades. Andrews had 918,263 votes, or 51%, compared with 842,905 votes, or 46.8%, for Graham with an estimated 86.3% of the vote counted when NBC projected the race. Independent Kasie Whitener had 1.1%.

Gov. Hochul beat Republican Bruce Blakeman Tuesday to win reelection for a second full term as governor as New York Democrats turned out in droves in a blue wave driven by President Trump’s deep unpopularity. Hochul led Blakeman by a landslide with the early reporting, capping off a remarkable political comeback from her uncomfortably narrow first reelection win in 2022. Hochul racked up huge margins in New York City and held her ground in the suburbs and upstate to turn aside the challenge from Blakeman, the Nassau County executive who had needed to run the table outside the five boroughs....

Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday that embeds a fundamental right to kill babies in abortions up to birth in the state constitution. With 52.83 percent of precincts reporting, the Associated Press showed “Yes” leading 60.09 percent to 39.91 percent on Question 1. Other early tallies showed a similar margin. Pre-election models had given the measure better than a 98 percent chance of passage. The pro-abortion side reportedly spent as much as $5 million buy the vote and run ads lying to voters about what the amendment would do. The amendment establishes that every individual has the fundamental right...

HOUSTON — Could Texas really turn blue? This year’s U.S. Senate race is testing whether Democrats can win a seat the state has kept in Republican hands for nearly four decades. Democrat James Talarico is facing Republican Ken Paxton in a contest that has renewed attention on Democrats’ chances of winning statewide. Texas last elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 1988, when Lloyd Bentsen won reelection. A Talarico victory would end that 38-year drought.

Republicans flipped the governorship of Guam on Tuesday as Vicente “Tony” Ada, a legislator with a record of supporting pro-life laws on abortion, defeated pro-abortion Democrat Sen. Therese Terlaje. In unofficial final results released early Wednesday by the Guam Election Commission, Ada is the winner of the close race. Ada and running mate E.J. Calvo received 15,945 votes (51.45 percent). Terlaje and Sabina Perez received 14,925 votes (48.15 percent). The Republican ticket’s lead of roughly 1,020 votes ended eight years of Democratic control of Adelup under term-limited Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero. Sen. Therese Terlaje called Ada to concede on behalf...

A follow-up investigation was conducted by police, which led to Hughes returning several signs, including the...

The American people can never forget the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence—for the simple reason that if they ever do forget, they will no longer be Americans. As individuals, we are not entirely defined by our personal histories. We can change. So can nations. But just as no one would discard his or her personal history—memories of family and friends, of love nurtured and adversity overcome—for anything less than the most dire of reasons, a nation cannot erase or tamper with its own history unless it has decided to become something else: a new country, unattached to its...

War is hell. Forced war upon the innocents is even worse and this story is very disturbing. Ukraine has forced conscription. Essentially a radical forced draft where the government pays private contractors to locate Ukrainian men, drag them off the streets, put them into military training and force them to fight in the war. Inside Ukraine this process has become more and more aggressive as the population of available fighting-age males has declined. The process is also fraught with corruption. The private contractors, “draft enforcers” ie. “headhunters”, are paid to find the men who refuse to fight. Financial support given...
