Last night felt like a huge shot in the arm, at least to me, probably to you at home as well.

And we have got a huge show tonight.

New Jersey's governor-elect Mikey Cheryl, who also probably didn't get a lot of sleep last night,

is going to join me here in just a moment, still fresh off her double-digit victory last night.

And Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro, was going to join me here for his reaction to his party's big wins last night, including in his home state of Pennsylvania. I'll also talk with him about what lies ahead for Democrats as they build on their momentum. Before we get to any of that, I just wanted to take a minute just to take stock of everything that just happened because it was kind of a whirlwind of wins. And even when I

went to bed last night, we didn't know all of this. Now, in Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger

won the race for governor by 15 points, which is the biggest margin of any Democrat seeking

in that office in the last 60 years. Also in Virginia, Democrat Gazala Hashmi won the race for lieutenant governor by 11 points,

which is the biggest margin for any candidate in that race in over a decade.

And even Virginia Democrat Jay Jones won his race for attorney general.

Now, despite a massively problematic texting scandal that threatened to derail his candidacy,

which that, I mean,

that really tells you just how much Virginia voters wanted to send a message in this election.

They also won back more than a dozen seats in the state legislature, which is huge, because

that's going to be a very big deal when it comes to trying to do redistricting, which is

something they're very focused on in that state.

It's giving

them their biggest majority in the state legislature in quite some time. And Ford actually

nearly 40 years, and it's going to keep them with the ability to do that. Now, that's just one state.

And there was much more, much, much more. There was also New Jersey heading into election night. The New Jersey governor's race was, I mean, it was supposed to be a nail biter. After Trump had made some surprising gains in the state last year, I admit, I think I called it exactly that, a nail biter. I was looking at polls. I was wrong. So were the polls. That race wasn't actually close at all. In fact, it ended up being an absolute blowout. Democrat,

Mikey Sherrill, was elected governor by 13 points, outperforming all of the polling and exceeding

every expectation heading into that race. And a lot of the criticism that she dealt with as well.
