Happy Election Day, OnPolitics readers! |
It's a big day for Virginia voters in particular. |
For Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe and his supporters, it's about Donald Trump, the unpopular ex-president McAuliffe constantly links to Republican rival Glenn Youngkin. |
For Youngkin and his backers, the election is more about tying McAuliffe to an increasingly unpopular president, Joe Biden, who has seen his approval ratings fall in the commonwealth of Virginia and across the country. |
Meanwhile, other important races include two of Ohio's congressional districts as well as the New York City and Boston mayoral races. |

Real Quick: non-Election Day stories you'll want to read |
• | Trump vs. Georgia (round two): The Georgia election official who defied pressure by Donald Trump to "find" votes and overturn his 2020 election loss says the brutal condition of American politics could lead to more protests and violence like the Jan. 6 insurrection. | • | Pumping the brakes: The Biden administration announced new rules Tuesday to limit methane emissions from oil and gas drilling as well as actions aimed at protecting forests globally during the United Nations' COP26 climate summit in Scotland. | • | Can New Yorkers carry guns? When the Supreme Court hears oral arguments Wednesday in a closely watched guns case, the discussion won't start with the ratification of the Second Amendment in 1791, but instead, attorneys on both sides will likely reach back to a 700-year-old English law. | |
Listen to our reporters recap tonight's election results during a Twitter Spaces discussion tomorrow at 4 p.m. ET on our account @usatodayDC. — Amy |
