A Good Day For Democracy
Today, the states of Virginia and New Jersey both held gubernatorial elections, pitting Ralph Northam Ⓓ vs. Ed Gillespie Ⓡ and Phil Murphy Ⓓ vs. Kim Guadango Ⓡ, respectively. In both of the elections, the Democratic candidate won.
In New Jersey, this means that Phil Murphy is set to replace Chris Christie, a Republican governor who has long overstayed his welcome. Both Democrats appear to be planning to work on gun control legislation, which is a good sign.
In addition, Democrats now have a majority in the Washington State Legislature, for the first time in a very long time. Today is a good day for the Democratic Party.
