PROP 50 passed!! Way to go CA!!
The first night in a long time I felt Hope for our country. 👏👏🇺🇸
It’s 4 a.m. here in Britain, watching this in anticipation of a Democratic sweep. So excited for Mamdani.
Can't wait for Mike Johnson to be removed as speaker.
Schumer and Jeffries need to step aside if they're not willing to move forward with us.
Looking beyond NYC, Dems ousted two Republicans from Georgia's Public Utility Commission. That's a state-wide election and a commission no Dem has served on since 2007!! That's not without significance!
Excuse me, but Detroit had an election today as well, for the first time a woman Mayor Mary Sheffield 🎉
To say the economy is not that bad is a wild statement....down here with us small people, it's pretty fking terrible
It feels so good to finally have a complete democratic election sweep. Congrats to VA, NJ, NYC, and CA.🎉🎉🎉
The Anger is against Trump!!!!! We The People.
