“Last night’s results may lead Virginia to re-open a debate over expanding its Medicaid program, a move that Republicans have so far blocked. Meanwhile, lower-income Mainers got another consequential win, as a referendum on expanding that state’s Medicaid program passed last night. Sarah Kliff writes at Vox that 89,000 people in the Pine Tree State will become eligible for coverage.

“Another win took place in Washington state, where Manka Dhingra flipped a Republican state senate seat in King County, and in doing so, won Democratic control of the legislature. That was the final brick in a West Coast “Blue Wall,” with Democrats enjoying unified control of California, Oregon and Washington. Late last week, Alexander Burns and Kirk Johnson reported for The New York Times that “Democrats have sketched an aggressive agenda,” and are talking “about enacting policy across state lines. The three states’ Democratic governors have spoken regularly about policy collaboration, and over the summer began coordinated talks on climate change with foreign heads of state.”

“Other victories of note: Danica Roem was the first openly transgender candidate to win a seat in the Virginia state house, defeating Bob Marshall, who, Buzzfeed notes, “has served 11 terms and sponsored a firehouse of bills catered to the religious right.” Larry Krasner, a progressive civil rights lawyers and criminal justice reform advocate, became Philadelphia’s new Attorney General. Democrat Vi Lyles “easily defeated Republican Kenny Smith on Tuesday to become Charlotte’s first African-American female mayor.” Hoboken City Councilman Ravi Bhalla became New Jersey’s first Sikh mayor. Democrats picked up two open seats in the Georgia House that had previously been held by Republicans. And New Hampshire Democrats picked up two more seats last night, bringing their record in special elections during Trump’s first year in office to 8-2.”
