Morning!
Good morning, early risers! It’s a little after 6 a.m. on Wednesday, the day after Election Day in Virginia, New Jersey and a bunch of other places around the country, Things stand mostly where they did when our crew said goodnight a few hours ago: In Virginia’s governor’s race, Youngkin has been projected the winner by our colleagues at ABC News. In New Jersey’s governor’s race, only about 84 percent of the expected vote has been counted; at the moment, the Republican, Ciattarelli, and the incumbent Democrat, Murphy, are separated by less than 100 votes.
We’ll be keeping you updated here today as more votes are counted in New Jersey — and we’ll have more data-driven analyses of “what this all means” — but in the meantime, check out our crew’s late-night thoughts in the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast they recorded in the wee hours this morning.
