First General Election Since Donald Trump's Presidency
The first general election since Donald Trump became president is underway, with several state and local elections taking place.
Key Races
The results of these contests will be seen as either a repudiation or approval of Trump's agenda, particularly in high-profile races such as:
- Virginia and New Jersey governor
- New York City mayor
- A California proposition to redraw congressional district boundaries
In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli are vying to succeed the term-limited Democratic Governor.
Ciattarelli is a former state Assemblyman backed by Trump.
More than half of the states will hold contests on Tuesday.
