Today is Election Day.

VOTE!

A handful of U.S. races will shake the course of President Joe Biden's agenda. The one that could impact Democrats going into 2022 is the race for governor in Virginia. A state that easily went to Biden could flip to become a swing state.

Terry McAuliffe is facing off against the Republican, Karen Youngkin in a race that could shape the midterms. The former Democratic governor of Virginia has squander a lead to single digits and the potential for defeat is likely 51%. McAuliffe was trying to tag Youngkin to Washed Up 45 and was hoping on the Democrats to pass the Build Back Better bill. The stalling by progressives, Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) have made it harder for McAuliffe to sell his message. Also Ralph Northam is leaving on somewhat bad terms. After his embarrassing blackface photos, the current governor had to make it up to Black voters. He supported the removal of Confederate statues in the state. He also signed off on extending early voting and mail in voting. The governor has offered more to struggling families. However, Republicans still simmering over the former president's loss are resorting to culture war issues like critical race theory and mask mandates to taint McAuliffe and Biden to "big government overreach." Also Lauren Windsor's stunt to bring tiki torches and fake Proud Boys only agitated the far-right need to defeat the Democrats. Youngkin wants to win over white voters who oppose immigration, critical race theory and mask mandates. Some of his supporters are still flying the Confederate flag and are angry over inflation. Biden won the state by 10 points, but if the Republican wins, it could deflate Democrats going into 2022. The insurrection is not on the minds of Republicans and independent voters. Not holding the former president accountable seems like a rally cry for Youngkin and many like him to embrace Washed Up 45's antics. The Republicans refuse to work with Biden on Build Back Better but sure as hell want to take credit for getting the benefits of it. If McAuliffe does win or lose, the Democrats may have to scrap the Washed Up 45 narrative. 

Is Biden an anchor on Democrats? We will find out tonight.

India B. Walton is hoping to become the first Democratic mayor of Buffalo, New York who is a democratic socialist. Her opponent, Democratic incumbent Byron Brown is hoping to beat her in a write-in campaign. Walton's embracing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has turned her negatives up high. In the latest polling, Brown is leading even though he is not on the ballot. He is hoping that Buffalo residents skip her name and type or write his name in.

Shontel Brown should be easily elected to finish out the term left by Marcia Fudge. Brown who beaten leftist Nina Turner in a bitterly fought special primary is facing against Karen Gore, a perennial Republican who is Black. The Black Republican has been outspent by Brown. Turner who was embraced by Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Jeffrey Shaun King and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) was not focused on issues in the Ohio 11th Congressional District. She was focused on being a distraction and throwing shade at Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) via Killer Mike. Turner blew a 35-point lead. She had more fundraising and endorsements than Brown. Brown a local Cuyahoga County representative said that she wants to be a lawmaker not an activist like Ocasio-Cortez, Bush and Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA).

Eric Adams, mayoral nominee for New York City is expected to trounce Republican/independent Karen Silva. The Democratic mayoral nominee is expected to throw out his predecessor agenda. Bill de Blasio, a two term mayor for the city of New York is considering a sacrificial lamb run for governor. Andrew Yang, the former presidential candidate and former mayoral candidate couldn't buy his way to support. His appearance on Fox and his wishy-washy ways had doomed him again. Also MSNBC agitator Maya Wiley failed to secure the vote. Again her embracing of Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Bush and Turner has doom her.

Jeff Mims, the Dayton city commissioner is taking on Rennes Bowers in a non partisan election. Mims, endorsed by the Democratic Party is taking on Bowers, a former Dayton fire fighter. Bowers, an independent who is endorsed by Republicans is hoping to capitalize off the negative reaction to outgoing mayor Nan Whaley and the city's mask mandate. He also is calling for more demolishing of abandon homes and buildings. Mims is hoping to work with the new police chief and try to bring Dayton, a major rust belt city back to glory.

Phil Murphy, the embattled New Jersey governor is likely going to win his bid for reelection. The Democratic governor has faced backlash over the mask mandates and his decision to leave the state during the pandemic to visit family. He also ate in places without proper masking. He faced heat for that. But I guess people are fickle about this. New Jersey has successfully got the COVID-19 rates down and has seen modest job growth. His opponent Karen Ciattarelli has found himself without a party because Washed Up 45 didn't come to the party.

Eric Adams will likely beat the sideshow act.

Boston will now find itself in a historical feat. Two women are likely are going to be mayor. One is a woman of color. Michelle Wu is a Taiwanese-American and progressive activist. Annissa Essaibi George is a moderate who embraced by many of the Democratic establishment. Wu is embraced by the progressives and of course, Sanders, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is resigning despite being favored to win. It appears her former rival and his opponent could take this into a runoff. Kasim Reed, a former two term mayor of Atlanta and Felicia Moore, the Atlanta City Council president are vying for the mayor seat. With white nationalists are threatening to separate the Buckhead neighborhood from the city, the mayor's race has turned into an issue of the growing crime in Atlanta. Tension between the police and residents of the city have reached new lows. The city's payout the family of Rayshard Brooks. The far-right extremist Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) has been using the narratives of crime in the streets and "Let's Go Brandon" to point out how Democrats ruined Atlanta and she's considering a run for president in 2024. 

Shontel Brown is likely going to be U.S. Representative-elect.

Minneapolis is considering defunding the police. The city will abolish its police force and restructure it as a community oriented policing structure. In the wake of the George Floyd and Duante Wright murders and many other police shootings in the Twin Cities, Jacob Frey is feeling the heat like his predecessor, Betsy Hodges. Hodges was defeated by Frey after her job approval tanked during the Philando Castile and Jamarr Clark shootings. Frey is expected to survive his challenge but it's unknown if he'll be able to regroup his city's police if voters approve restructuring. Frey has labeled his opponents as enablers. He is hoping that the need for police reform revolves around citizens engagement and not defunding.

The death of Alcee Hastings has prompt Florida to issue a special election to replace him. The Democratic lawmaker died while in office. Now the race has 11 candidates running. I will say that my bets are on Bobby DuBose, the Florida House Minority Leader. He is endorsed by Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA), the successor of John Lewis. Williams represents the Black Congressional Caucus and is considered a queen maker. She and Clyburn have helped fend off leftist challenges.

These races are determined by turnout. If Americans refuse to vote in these elections, the end game and results. Trust me, Shontel Brown, Gavin Newsom, Melanie Stansbury are results of voter turnout.
