There’s still no decision in New Jersey, where the count is close and the data is murky. But county by county, it’s becoming clear that there are still a lot of Democratic-leaning mail ballots left. That might be enough for Murphy.
President Biden just touched down at Joint Base Andrews after his trip to Rome and Glasgow, returning from the rarified heights of foreign summitry to a sour, gridlocked Washington riven with Democratic infighting.
In his victory speech, Youngkin focused once again on schools, promising “choice within the public school system” and curriculum that teaches children “how to think.” Education, mixed with race, became one of the most salient issues in the campaign.
Youngkin was the big story in Virginia, but the state also elected its first Black woman lieutenant governor and its first Latino attorney general, both Republicans.
Phil Murphy, New Jersey’s Democratic governor, and his Republican challenger, Jack Ciattarelli, addressed supporters almost simultaneously early Wednesday. Both said it will take more time to count all the vote-by-mail and provisional ballots.
The World Series ends — and so have the mayoral ambitions of Bobby Valentine, who concedes to Democrat Caroline Simmons in Stamford, Conn.
As Democrats try and make sense of the wreckage tonight, one fact stands out as one of the easiest explanations: Joe Biden has lower approval ratings at this stage of his presidency than nearly any president in the era of modern polling.
An example of the difficulty in New Jersey is Bergen County, where Republicans may — or may not — be on track to hold on to their lead. One election document says they've counted heavily Democratic mail votes; another says they haven't.
Minneapolis' rejection of a referendum to replace their police department will not end the conversation over reforming law enforcement there. Voters largely agreed that policing needs to change. They were less sure about how to do it.

In the reddest part of Virginia, its southwestern coal country, Youngkin is getting a slightly higher percentage of the vote than Trump did in several counties in 2020. 80-85+ percent tonight.
In Atlanta, front-runner Felicia Moore, the city council president and a longtime critic of former mayor Kasim Reed, will advance to a runoff. But Mr. Reed and councilman Andre Dickens are fighting for the No. 2 spot.
In Great Falls, Mont., Mayor Bob Kelly cruised to re-election over his challenger, Fred Burow. Mr. Kelly is a supporter of the local effort to create a National Heritage Area. Mr. Burrow has opposed the proposal and trumpeted disinformation about it.
Brad Lander will be New York City’s next comptroller, according to the AP. He and his ally, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, are are expected to form a left-leaning coalition, possibly in opposition to Mayor-elect Eric Adams, who is closer to the political center.
Historic night in Durham, N.C., where Elaine O’Neal, a former interim dean of N.C. Central University Law School, will become the city’s first Black woman mayor.
In the Democratic primary for Florida’s 20th Congressional District, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick leads Dale Holness by a mere 31 votes. That would trigger an automatic recount for the heavily Democratic seat in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Diane Allen, Jack Ciattarelli’s Republican running-mate in New Jersey, just addressed an energized G.O.P. crowd watching results arrive slowly. “We feel good,” she said. “Let’s continue.”
Felicia Moore, a candidate for mayor in Atlanta, hugged supporters at her election night watch party in Downtown Atlanta.
Kendrick Brinson for The New York Times
Terry McAuliffe, who did not concede defeat in his brief remarks, will not be speaking again tonight, an aide said.
McAuliffe in a speech before supporters: “We still got a lot of vote to count, we have about 18 percent of the vote out, we're going to continue to count the votes because every single Virginian deserves to have their vote counted.”
