Republican Glenn Youngkin was declared the winner of the Virginia gubernatorial race by a number of outlets and election analysts on Tuesday night after a hard-fought campaign that he entered as a significant underdog.
Despite trailing former governor Terry McAulife by as much as six and a half points in the RealClearPolitics polling average as late as the last week of August, Youngkin ultimately triumphed thanks to a hyper-focus on local issues and a commitment to walking the line between Trump supporters in rural, southern Virginia and wealthier suburbanites who were alienated by the MAGA wing of the party.
Youngkin will take office in 2022 after eight years of Democratic control

Following a Monday press conference, where Sen. Joe Manchin said he needed "more clarity" on the Biden administration's Build Back Better framework, Rep. Cori Bush called him out in a statement for being one of two key Democratic holdouts on the bill. "Joe Manchin's opposition to the Build Back Better Act is anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant," the representative from Missouri said in her statement. "Joe Manchin does not get to dictate the future of our country." The Build Back Better reconciliation bill focuses on, in part, climate change solutions along with child care and medical care. Democrats are trying

A U.S. Navy investigation has determined that the nuclear attack submarine damaged in a collision in the South China Sea in early October struck an uncharted underwater mountain, defense officials said Monday. The Navy’s U.S. 7th Fleet commander Vice Adm. Karl Thomas is now conducting a review of the findings to determine whether any additional accountability measures will be taken, U.S. Naval Institute News reported. "The investigation determined USS Connecticut grounded on an uncharted seamount while operating in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region,” 7th Fleet spokesperson Cmdr. Hayley Sims said in a statement. Vice Adm. Thomas “will determine whether follow-on actions, including accountability, are appropriate.”

China's growing military muscle and its drive to end American predominance in the Asia-Pacific is rattling the U.S. defense establishment. American officials see trouble quickly accumulating on multiple fronts — Beijing's expanding nuclear arsenal, its advances in space, cyber and missile technologies, and threats to Taiwan.
'The pace at which China is moving is stunning,' said General John Hyten, the No. 2-ranking U.S. military officer, who previously commanded U.S. nuclear forces and oversaw Air Force space operations.
At stake is a potential shift in the global balance of power that has favored the United States for decades.

Though the federal government and private companies have both tried to find solutions to the supply chain crisis, bottlenecks and inflation aren't going away, says the Biden Administration — at least while COVID-19 is still around.
According to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the supply chain crisis is the result of myriad factors tied directly to the ongoing pandemic. Speaking on a circuit of morning shows on Sunday, Buttigieg touted the Biden Administration's budget reconciliation bill in combatting inflation and supply chain stressors as it continues to battle COVID-19.

Vice President Kamala Harris visited New York City Monday, touring John F. Kennedy International Airport as part of an effort to see how climate action can create jobs.
“To meet our climate commitment, we must, we must, I say to my fellow Americans, put in the work,” she said.
Harris was joined at JFK Airport by Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, as they touted two new initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.
“First, a new partnership between our government and private companies to drive innovation in electric heat pumps,” Harris said.
Later she participated in a celebration marking the 30th anniversary of the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.

I'm sure given their past record of civility and humanity they can be trusted to spend the money wisely. It would probably be better just to send them some semtex and armaments, you know, cut out the middleman.
