It's Election Day with a number of key races on the ballot. In New York City's race for mayor, Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani maintains his commanding lead in the polls over Independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. The polls have tightened in the race to be New Jersey's next governor, with Democrat Mikie [[ Mikey ]] Sherrill's lead over Republican Jack Ciattarelli [[ CHIT-ah-relly ]] narrowing. The same cannot be said for Virginia, where Democrat Abigail Spanberger has maintained a double-digit lead over Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears in that race for governor.
