BREAKING NEWS: Guam Governor Louise Leon Guerrero (D) has won reelection easily defeating former Guam Governor Felix Camacho (R) by double digits.

​

Wasn't Guam the one with the Republican representative for the second time ever? Odd that they'd split parties.

massive landslide victory.
DeSantis (R): 3,645,697 (57.44%)✔
Crist (D): 2,660,357 (41.92%)

57/42 is not a landslide.

57/42 is not a landslide.

A 15-16 point lead is absolutely a landslide. Most elections are within a few points.

It is when Miami turned red

Fox News projects Wes Moore (D) has won the MD Governorship making history as the Old Line State's first African American Governor & the 5th African American Governor following PSB Pinchback (R-LA), L. Douglas Wilder (D-VA), Deval Patrick (D-MA) & David Paterson (D-NY St).

Moore will take office on Wednesday, January 18th, 2023.

Idk about MI but seems accurate

While obviously it'd be nice to have them both, surely it'd be better to have MI than OR, if this prediction and the trend in last-minute polling across both states holds true. My understanding is that Oregon (what with Portland being Antifa Central and all) is a solid blue state where a split between the radical Dem and a more moderate candidate who went independent is the only reason why the Republican candidate had a prayer at all this year, whereas Michigan is a purpler state that Trump had won previously. I've also heard that this means the GOP candidate in Michigan can afford to be consistently pro-life while the one in Oregon, by necessity, has to be a RINO like Susan Collins or Larry Hogan because anyone further to the right just wouldn't be competitive there.

Yeah, a lot of the Oregon polls were showing Red up till the 6th, then their positions flipped. Not sure if there was a reason for that or if the polls just got more accurate, or started getting counted.

Hochul's lead shrunk to 21 percentage points (60% to 39%)
