News Category: 2 Minute Download

Midterm races continue to be called this week, and NewDEALers have continued winning more elections for higher office and for reelection. In Arizona, Adrian Fontes was officially named the Secretary of State-elect in one of the highest profile races involving the defeat of an extreme, election-denying opponent. Meanwhile, in California, NewDEALer Matt Mahan was elected Mayor of San Jose, succeeding long-time NewDEALer Sam Liccardo. Dozens of NewDEAL Leaders were reelected to their offices; according to the latest results, 93% of NewDEALers running for reelection this year have won so far. In other key statewide races, Arizona’s Katie Hobbs beat out a far-right extremist to flip the governorship, and Cisco Aguilar flipped the Nevada Secretary of State office. While there are still some races remaining, the midterms have not only proven successful for Democrats, but also calmer than many feared. Earlier this week, NPR reported that the chaos-causing election denialism that followed the 2020 vote has been successfully abated by patriotic poll workers, election officials, and Secretaries of State nationwide.
