It’s election day-after. Republican Glenn Youngkin has won Virginia’s hotly contested gubernatorial election, defeating Democratic power player and former Gov. Terry McAuliffe. In New Jersey, incumbent Governor Phil Murphy hasn't yet locked down what was expected to be a relatively easy win. Democrat Eric Adams has won New York City's mayoral race; Adams discusses the city’s relationship with the business community, as well as social reform, and state and local taxes. Plus, the CDC has cleared Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. CNBC’s Meg Tirrell reports on the 28 million kids now eligible for the shot, and Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner and CNBC contributor, discusses the timeline for kids vaccinations, and overcoming parental hesitancy.
