After it was evident that he'd be losing the Virginia Governor's race despite leading in the polls for nearly the entirety of the race, Terry McAuliffe then decided to wait another 12 hours before conceding defeat.
While Virginia voted for Joe Biden by a 10-point margin last year, they went Red in the governor's race by a 2-point margin.
Republicans also won the Lt. Governor race and Attorney General race, the first time Republicans have swept all three offices since 2009.
One is left to wonder how one white guy defeating another white guy in a governor's race is an example of racism - or how that makes any sense in light of Sears being the first African American Lt. Governor in Virginia's history, and Miyares the first Latino Attorney General.
While 20 races still have yet to be called, Republicans are on track to regain control of Virginia's House of Delegates.
New Jersey's race is also a virtual tie as of writing.
There was numerous other victories last night too: Minneapolis voters rejected a "Defund the police" proposal, Republicans gained four seats on New York City's City Council, an AOC-backed socialist lost to a write in candidate that wasn't on the ballot, pro-Antifa Seattle candidates lost badly in City Council races, and opponents of critical race theory nonsense and school closures won school board seats nationwide.
