Decision Desk HQ has called the Virginia gubernatorial race for Republican Glenn Youngkin, which makes it a GOP sweep in that state. The New Jersey race for governor remains too close to call. Meanwhile, another vote is taking place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and that has to do with pushes to “defund the police.” That referendum has been voted down:
BREAKING: The effort to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new public safety agency has failed.
57-43% no, with 94 percent in.

All in all this night is looking like a complete rejection of leftist policies.

"Defund the police" is the stupidest among several very stupid mantras and programs the progressive woke faction of the Democrats has embraced.
When will Democrats reject the yoke of wokism?

Turns out living in unsafe and lawless neighborhoods doesn’t make for popular policy. https://t.co/0veEkO8c2U
