BREAKING: Republican Glenn Youngkin wins election for governor in Virginia. #APracecall at 12:37 a.m. EDT. #Election2021 #VAelection
Youngkin’s win in Virginia ends the GOP’s 12-year losing streak in statewide races in Virginia. apne.ws/1St2WT2
It is certain to add to Democratic anxiety as President Biden's legislative agenda is stalled, his approval ratings are slipping and the party's narrow majority in Congress is on the line in next year’s midterm elections. apne.ws/aPK9S2T
Youngkin, a political neophyte and former private equity CEO, self-funded much of his bid and seized on dissatisfaction with Richmond and Washington. apne.ws/qIYIefB
Virginia voters saw the economy as the top issue in the race, followed by the coronavirus pandemic, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of statewide voters. apne.ws/ECLHIy4

BREAKING: Democrat Philip Murphy wins reelection for governor in New Jersey. #APracecall at 6:26 p.m. EDT. #Election2021 #NJelection
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy won reelection in close race against Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli. His victory spares Democrats the loss of a 2nd gubernatorial seat. apne.ws/0wJ58is
Ciattarelli waged a formidable campaign in the deep blue state. His spending nearly equaled Murphy's and outpaced the GOP's performance 4 years ago.
Murphy's advantages, including 1 million more registered Democrats, proved too much to overcome. apne.ws/Ey8h4N0

Minneapolis voters reject replacing its police department with a new public safety unit. The result comes more than a year after George Floyd’s death launched a movement to defund or abolish police across the country. apne.ws/Kn210ly
The debate brought national attention to the election, as well as a river of out-of-state money seeking to influence a contest that could shape changes in policing elsewhere, too. apne.ws/7bXATQL
The ballot proposal had roots in the abolish-the-police movement that erupted after Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer last year. The debate over racial justice in policing brought national attention to Tuesday’s vote. apne.ws/sPP649N
