High-profile races are unfolding across the country on Tuesday, including New York City's mayoral election and governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia. In California, voters will consider a ballot measure that puts forth a redrawn congressional map that could net Democrats five House seats.

Voters across the country are heading to the polls today for a slew of key off-cycle races, including governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia and the New York City mayoral election.

The mayor’s race in New York will gauge voters’ desire for a left-wing shift, and Democrats running for governor in New Jersey and Virginia again made fighting the president central to their bids.

Democrats will hold onto the governorship of New Jersey as Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the most closely watched gubernatorial race of the year, offering her party a much-needed boost after months of political uncertainty under the Trump Administration.

Newsweek has rounded up what the polls say ahead of Tuesday's elections in New York City, New Jersey and Virginia.

Ms. Sherrill, a Democratic congresswoman, beat Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican running his third race for governor, after a hard-fought campaign. She urged voters to consider the race a referendum on President Trump.

Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator endorsed by President Donald Trump, is trying to become New Jersey’s first Republican governor since 2018. He faces U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat in her fourth term in Congress who would become the state’s second female governor if elected.
