First General Election Since Donald Trump's Presidency
The first general election since Donald Trump became president is being held, with various state and local elections taking place.
Key Races
Notable races include the governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the New York City mayoral election, and a California proposition to redraw congressional district boundaries.
- New Jersey: Democrat Mikie Sherrill vs. Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former state Assemblyman backed by Trump, to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov.
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.
