President Donald Trump moved quickly on Tuesday night to distance himself from a dire slate of election results for Republicans across the country and to demand his party finally end the government shutdown and “get back to passing legislation.”
Democrats won the New York City mayoral race, as well as gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia. California passed a new redistricting plan to their advantage, with the results coming in as the federal blackout crossed into its 36th day, making it officially the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the 35-day outage during Trump’s first term in 2018/19.
