Election 2023 results, news and analysis

Abortion again proved to be a winning issue for Democrats across the country in state and local races Tuesday. Ohio voters said “yes” to enshrining the right to an abortion in the state constitution, the Associated Press projected. The ballot measure would establish in the state constitution an “individual right to one’s own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion.” Abortion rights were at the heart of Gov. Andy Beshear’s (D) campaign for reelection in deeply red Kentucky, where he won handily after he championed access to abortion in the state. And Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s hopes to advance his conservative agenda were dashed as voters in his state kept the state Senate in Democratic hands and flipped the state House blue. In Mississippi, Gov. Tate Reeves (R) is projected to win reelection over Democrat Brandon Presley, according to the AP.
