Over in Mississippi, they decided to stick with Gov. Tate Reeves (R), because why not? Who needs to explore the uncharted waters of political change when you can have continuity? He beat Brandon Presley (D), who, fun fact, happens to be related to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. What a resume!

In the riveting showdown in Virginia, every seat in the General Assembly was up for grabs. The Democrats emerged victorious, granting them full control of the statehouse. Goodbye, Republican trifecta dreams under Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R). Better luck next time!

In the great state of Ohio, voters made a valiant stand for reproductive rights, amending the state constitution to ensure access to abortion services. The audacity of guaranteeing the right to an abortion, contraception, and fertility treatment – what are they thinking? They also decided to join the “Let’s Get High” club by legalizing recreational marijuana, because it’s only the 24th state to do so. Cutting-edge stuff.

Rhode Island voters achieved a milestone, making history by electing Gabe Amo (D), their first Black congressman. Bravo, Rhode Island, for catching up with the times! Meanwhile, in the Big Apple, Yusef Salaam (D) of Central Park Five fame won a city council seat. He must have had some fierce competition, considering he ran unopposed. The suspense was palpable!

And to top off this roller-coaster of excitement, get ready for the third Republican primary debate in Miami tonight! It’s going to be a real nail-biter, featuring the who’s who of the Republican world: former Govs. Nikki Haley (SC) and Chris Christie (NJ), Gov. Ron DeSantis (FL), Sen. Tim Scott (SC), and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. The future of the nation hangs in the balance!
