On this election day special, Emily breaks down the two most watched races in the country: the New York City mayoral election between Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, and the Virginia Attorney General race between Republican Jason Miyares and Democrat Jay Jones. Emily discusses how Mamdani's likely victory signals the ascendance of the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party, and unpacks the explosive Virginia AG race, where Jay Jones's candidacy has been plagued by leaked text messages wishing suffering on a political opponent's children and an alleged "puppy-kicking" incident, leading Republicans to frame the election as a battle for "decency" and character.
