We get an overview of how Democrats won big across the United States in Tuesday's elections, with Daniel Nichanian, editor-in-chief of Bolts. Democratic Congressmember Mikie Sherrill won New Jersey's governor's race, and Abigail Spanberger flipped Virginia's governorship. In California, voters approved a new congressional map that could help Democrats pick up five additional congressional seats in a move to counter Texas's redistricting plan. Local races across the countries also saw widespread Democratic wins. Nichanian says he has "never really quite seen this level of systematic win for pretty much anything that there was [for Democrats] to win."
