The African-American Cherelle Parker, a Democrat, will lead the city of Pennsylvania. Latest CNN poll on the 2024 presidential elections: Donald Trump ahead with 49% against the American president’s 45%
A victory each for Republicans and Democrats over the governors and a clear signal on the right to abortion: US Election Day, exactly one year after the presidential elections, provided reassuring indications to Joe Biden, in particular regarding the fact that the majority of Americans want maintaining the right to terminate a pregnancy, one of the flag issues of the progressives and the president. Ohio is the seventh state to rule in favor following the Supreme Court’s decision in 2022 to overturn the Roe v. Wade in 1973 which had established the right to abortion at a federal level. The s reached 56%.
Biden celebrated the success in the evening with a message: Tonight, once again, Americans voted to protect their freedoms. And democracy won. The people of Ohio rejected the attempt by the Maga Republicans (Donald Trump’s movement, ed.) to impose extreme limitations on the right to abortion. The referendum on abortion marks a victory for the Pro Choice movement by expanding the possibilities for voluntary termination of pregnancy. It will now be impossible for the state to interfere in citizens’ reproductive decisions, including matters of contraception and fertility treatments. Green light also given to the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes.
Another positive signal also arrived for the White House during the night: in Kentucky, the Democrat Andy Beasher (also a convinced Pro Choice) was confirmed as governor. Republican challenger Daniel Cameron was defeated and instead supports the state’s restrictive abortion law which does not make exceptions even for cases of rape or incest. Republican Tate Reeves, governor of Mississippi, was also re-elected.
Philadelphia has elected the first mayor in its history: Cherelle Parker, 51 years old, African American, Democrat. She was moved, she thanked the voters and celebrated the victory. Born in ’72 to a single, teenage mother who died when she was only 11, Parker grew up with her grandparents, a disabled Navy veteran, and a domestic worker. A 1994 graduate of Lincoln University, she worked for a time as an English teacher at a high school in Pleasantville, New Jersey. In the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 2005 to 2015, she was elected to represent the ninth district on the Philadelphia City Council in 2015 and re-elected in 2019, serving as majority leader from 2020 to 2022. In September 2022, she resigned from the city council and announced her candidacy for mayor and won the Democratic primary on May 16th.
The Democratic Party maintained control of the Virginia Senate, where it had a slim majority of 22 seats to 17 in the state Senate. For the Republicans, however, the outcome of the election marks the defeat of the political message of the governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin, who had done much personally during the electoral campaign. Another small positive sign for Biden, after the disastrous polls of the last few days which put him behind Donald Trump. The latest Ssrs survey published by CNN gives the former president a lead of 49% against 45% for the holder of the White House. The bad news for the incumbent president is that 51% of the national sample says they would never vote for him versus 48% who would never vote for Trump. Among voters under 35, 48% support Trump and 47% Biden. Among independent voters, 45% vote for Trump and 41% for Biden.
