Key Elections in the US
The first general election since Donald Trump became president is being held, with several state and local elections taking place.
These elections include high-profile races for Virginia and New Jersey governor, New York City mayor, and a California proposition to redraw congressional district boundaries.
- New Jersey governor: Democrat Mikie Sherrill vs. Republican Jack Ciattarelli
- Other notable races: Virginia governor, New York City mayor, California proposition
The results of those contests will be heralded by the victors as either a major repudiation or resounding stamp of approval of his second-term agenda.
More than half of the states will hold contests on Tuesday, making this a significant election day.
