Republican Glenn Young wins Virginia gubernatorial election
U.S. television reported Wednesday that Republican candidate Glenn Yong had won the Virginia gubernatorial election, a test for Democrats and President Joe Biden.
With more than 95 percent of the vote counted, Young had a 2.7-point lead over Democrat Terry McAliffe. Following these results, the NBC and ABC announced the victory of the Republican candidate.
Voters in the state adjacent to the capital, Washington, were called in to elect a new governor, a preliminary test for the midterm elections.
He faces Yong, 54, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, and Terry McAliffe, 64, backed by Democratic President Biden.
The three-quarters of the vote showed that Yongkin, a businessman with no political experience, was eight points ahead of McAuliffe, who received hawk support from his party during the campaign.
Before the vote, Biden spoke of Glasgow attending the COP26 climate conference, calling on Democrats to vote “we will win” in this election, even if the results are “close”.
According to the Virginia Public Access Program, the turnout was six times higher than Democrat Ralph Northam was elected in 2017, with nearly 1.2 million early voters.
When the first results were announced, Yongkin told his supporters, “This is not an election campaign long ago, but a movement you all lead.”
A few days before the election, the US president appeared with McAuliffe in Arlington.
“You had the courage and wisdom to reject the extremism that now dominates the Republican Party across the United States,” Biden told a crowd in Arlington, a suburb of Washington, DC.
“Republicans today do not recommend anything other than cutting taxes for rich and powerful companies,” he added.
Before Biden, Barack Obama, US First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned for McAliffe, who voted closely with Yong.
Confidence in the president has been steadily declining since the tumultuous withdrawal from Afghanistan this summer.
His promises to end the Govt-19 epidemic quickly were not fulfilled, prompting the White House to take cohesive measures that would continue to widen the country’s divisions over vaccination or other health measures.

The order comes as both Ukraine and Russia seek to make gains on the ground and regroup their forces in a conflict that has seen little change on the front lines in recent months.
This brings the total number of Russian military personnel to about 2,200,000, including 1,320,000 soldiers.
This is the second such military deployment since 2018. This previous reinforcement of 137,000 soldiers, ordered by Putin in August 2022, puts the army at around two million personnel and an estimated 1,150,000 soldiers.
“The Army’s standing force increase is due to the increasing threats to our country associated with special military operations and the continued expansion of NATO,” the military statement said.
He said the number of troops in service would increase by around 170,000, which he said would be an “appropriate” response to the “hostile activity of the NATO camp”.
The report indicated there were no plans to make changes to recruitment rules or organize another mobilization campaign, an unpopular move that saw a mass flight of men from Russia last year.
Instead, in recent months the military has focused on recruitment campaigns with promises of lucrative financial rewards, particularly in remote areas.
But Kremlin critics saw the move as a “disguised” mobilization, as recruitment into the army continues unabated.
What are NATO’s movements?
- NATO joint forces are being formed near Russia’s borders, and additional air defense systems and offensive weapons are being deployed.
- NATO’s tactical nuclear capabilities are increasing, the statement said.
- The ministry added that the Russian troop build-up was an appropriate response to NATO’s “aggressive actions”.

On Friday, the Gaza Strip was subjected to a violent Israeli bombardment that claimed dozens of lives in a single day, ending a week-long ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, which had once again vowed to eliminate the Palestinian movement.
International calls to resume the ceasefire continue, warning of the consequences of resuming fighting on civilians in the Gaza Strip, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening.
Shells and missiles lit up the Gaza sky after evening rain, while thick clouds of black smoke rose throughout the day from several targeted areas in the besieged region.
For their part, Palestinian factions fired missiles at Israel and sounded sirens in several areas around the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas Health Ministry announced that “the death toll from the Israeli occupation from this morning to today is 178 martyrs and 589 wounded, most of them children and women.”
The Israeli military reported bombing more than 200 targets in the Strip.
A cease-fire between Hamas and Israel came into effect on November 24 at 5:00 PM GMT.
As the strikes began, thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip began returning to hospitals and schools, as Agence France-Presse reporters in the besieged area witnessed.
Israeli government spokesman Elon Levy said “Hamas will now receive a fatal blow”, accusing the movement of not handing over a new list of hostages for release. He added, “Unfortunately, Hamas decided to end the ceasefire by not releasing all the kidnapped women.”
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his “deep regret” over the resumption of fighting, “expressing his hope that the ceasefire will be renewed. The resumption of military operations shows the importance of achieving an effective humanitarian ceasefire.”
Despite the resumption of fighting, Qatar’s foreign ministry confirmed in a statement on Friday that “negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli sides continue with the aim of returning to a ceasefire” and called on the international community to “move quickly”. The fighting must stop.”
The White House also confirmed on Friday that the United States was continuing to work to extend the humanitarian ceasefire.
A National Security Council spokesman said, “We continue to work with Israel, Egypt and Qatar on efforts to extend the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.”
The seven-day ceasefire was observed after Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip in response to an unprecedented and bloody attack on Israeli territory by the Hamas movement on October 7.
The Israeli military estimates the number of people detained and held hostage in the Gaza Strip in the October 7 attack was around 240.
The ceasefire allowed the release of 80 Israeli hostages and 240 Palestinian prisoners. Most Thai expatriates working in Israel were released outside the framework of the cease-fire agreement.
The Israeli military announced on Friday that it had confirmed the deaths of five hostages held in the Gaza Strip, notified their families, and recovered the body of one of them in a security operation.
Hamas had earlier announced that an Israeli bombardment of Gaza had killed nearly sixty hostages.
– “Exclusion” Zones –
On Friday, the Israeli military released a map of the so-called “exit zones” in the Gaza Strip, after an international call for Gaza residents to leave, the establishment of safe zones and a US plea to refrain from killing civilians. .
The map, written in Arabic, divides the Gaza Strip into hundreds of numbered sections and is available on the Israeli military’s website.
The military said the goal of the map was to enable residents to “evacuate specific locations for their safety if necessary.”
Warnings were sent through short text messages to residents of several parts of the Gaza Strip on Friday, warning that the army would launch a crushing military offensive on your residential area on Friday.
The message urged people to take immediate action.
The Palestinian Authority, through presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudayna, condemned what it described as “the continuation of the crime of ethnic cleansing and genocide, and attempts to displace and dissolve the Palestinian cause.”
The Hamas government media office announced on Friday that three Palestinian journalists had been killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip.
