The answers and more in the Morning newsletter from The New York Times.
Have Democrats been performing well in recent elections, despite President Biden’s low approval rating? Tuesday’s elections carry significant weight, especially for abortion rights, where multiple states will make decisions that may impact the future of these rights. In Kentucky, Governor Andy Beshear is emphasizing his support for abortion rights as he runs for reelection. Virginia’s Governor Glenn Youngkin is also focusing on this issue, proposing a 15-week limit. What will it mean for the future?
In Mississippi, a Democrat has a chance at elected office after a long dry spell. While the Mississippi Republican incumbent is facing a corruption scandal, Democrat Brandon Presley is running a campaign hoping to bridge partisan divides. He is advocating for moderate policies on social issues while emphasizing progressive economic stances.
The upcoming elections also touch upon other crucial issues such as schools, homelessness, and affordable housing. Some cities will vote on addressing rising homelessness, funding affordable housing projects, and criminal justice reforms. Several states will also vote on ballot measures, including legalizing marijuana, lowering the voting age, and adopting ranked choice voting in elections.
