Outside of Mississippi, it was a strong night for Democrats

With all precincts reporting, Beshear won with a slim 49.2 to 48.9 percent lead, a difference of less than 5,000 votes.
At his pre-election rally on Monday in Lexington, President Trump said: “You gotta vote because if you lose, it sends a really bad message. It just sends a bad and they’re going to build it up … You can’t let that happen to me.
Virginia Democrats Win State Trifecta Control Democrats are projected to flip the state senate and maintain control of the state house, meaning the Party has trifecta control of the government for the first time since 1994. With that power — joining 14 other Democratic triple-threats across the country — Democrats are reportedly expected to pursue gun control reform, LGBTQ protections, climate legislation, an increase to the minimum wage, and will control redistricting following the 2020 census.
Parties Maintain Control in Mississippi and New Jersey In New Jersey, Democrats held on, as expected, to their control of the state assembly, while Mississippi Republicans enjoyed sweeping wins across the ballot. With the current Governor Phil Bryant term-limited, the Republican Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves beat the anti-abortion, pro-gun Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood by almost 10 points.
