The 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election was won by Glenn Youngkin in an enormous upset. For months, the liberal mainstream media had said the Virginia would never vote for a Republican and that Creepy Clintonite Terry McAuliffe would win in a rout, but they had no idea how much BACKLASH and OUTRAGE the Democrat party had stirred. All over the great Commonwealth, people were fed up with the far-left agenda of Joe Biden, the most unpopular and hated president in American history. While Joe and Terry were pushing Critical Race Theory, Virginians realized that Democrat socialist policies had wrecked the economy, skyrocketed inflation, and created shortages of anything and everything. Then, in an act of total desperation, Terry and his campaign disgracefully tried to slander Glenn Youngkin as a Neo-Nazi. The people of Virginia were not fooled by these lies, however, and Glenn won BIG, proving that a massive RED WAVE had begun for Republicans across the country! |

The 2021 United States elections will be held, in large part, on Tuesday, November 2, 2021. This off-year election includes the regular gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia. In addition, state legislative elections will be held in New Jersey and the Virginia House of Delegates (the lower house of the Virginia General Assembly), along with numerous state legislative special elections, citizen initiatives, mayoral races, and a variety of other local elections. Two of six special elections to the United States House of Representatives will take place also on November 2 or earlier as a result of either deaths or vacancies. The first of these was held on March 20.
The 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election was won by Glenn Youngkin in an enormous upset. For months, the liberal mainstream media had said the Virginia would never vote for a Republican and that Creepy Clintonite Terry McAuliffe would win in a rout, but they had no idea how much BACKLASH and OUTRAGE the Democrat party had stirred. All over the great Commonwealth, people were fed up with the far-left agenda of Joe Biden, the most unpopular and hated president in American history. While Joe and Terry were pushing Critical Race Theory, Virginians realized that Democrat socialist policies had wrecked the economy, skyrocketed inflation, and created shortages of anything and everything. Then, in an act of total desperation, Terry and his campaign disgracefully tried to slander Glenn Youngkin as a Neo-Nazi. The people of Virginia were not fooled by these lies, however, and Glenn won BIG, proving that a massive RED WAVE had begun for Republicans across the country!
Federal elections
Senate
As part of the 2020 United States Senate elections, Georgia held run-off elections for both of its Senate seats on January 5, 2021. The run-off elections were triggered because of a Georgia law requiring a second round when no individual wins a majority of the vote in most federal, state, and local elections.[c] Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were the victors in those special elections, which gave the Democrats a total of 48 seats to the Republicans' 50. However, the victories resulted in a shift of power to the Democrats; the other two Senators, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine, are both independents who belong to the Democrats' caucus, and since any tied vote is broken by the President of the Senate — in this case Vice President Kamala Harris, also a Democrat — the Democrats technically hold a one-seat majority.
House of Representatives
Four special elections to fill vacancies have been held in 2021:
- Louisiana's 5th congressional district: Republican Julia Letlow defeated Democrat Sandra Christophe and fellow Republican Chad Conerly to succeed her husband Luke Letlow after his death from COVID-19 on December 29, 2020, five days before he would have taken office for the next session of Congress.[2] The district has a partisan index of R+17.[3]
- Louisiana's 2nd congressional district: Democrat Troy Carter defeated fellow Democrat Karen Carter Peterson to succeed Cedric Richmond, who resigned on January 15, 2021, to become the director of the Office of Public Liaison and a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden.[4][5][6] The district has a partisan index of D+25.[3]
- New Mexico's 1st congressional district: Democrat Melanie Stansbury defeated Republican Mark Moores to succeed Deb Haaland, who resigned on March 16, 2021, to serve as the United States Secretary of the Interior in the Biden administration.[7][8] The district has a partisan index of D+9.[3]
- Texas's 6th congressional district: Republican Jake Ellzey defeated fellow Republican Susan Wright to succeed Ron Wright, who died on February 7, 2021, from COVID-19 during the pandemic in Texas.[9][10][11] The district has a partisan index of R+6.[3]
Two special elections to fill vacancies are scheduled to take place later in 2021:
- Ohio's 11th congressional district: On December 8, 2020, Joe Biden announced he would nominate Democratic incumbent Marcia Fudge for U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Fudge resigned on March 10, 2021, after being confirmed by the Senate.[12] The special election is to be held on November 2 with the primary taking place on August 3.[13] The district has a partisan index of D+30.[3]
- Ohio's 15th congressional district: Incumbent Steve Stivers resigned on May 16, 2021.[14] A special election is to be held on November 2 with the primary taking place on August 3, the same day as the election for the state's 11th congressional district, as determined by Governor Mike DeWine.[15] The district has a partisan index of R+9.[3]
Puerto Rican shadow delegation
In May, Puerto Rico held a shadow congressional delegation election to elect two senators and four representatives to replace the shadow delegation first appointed in 2017. The shadow senators and representatives are not seated in Congress, but are charged with advancing Puerto Rico's statehood efforts. In the preliminary results from election night, former at-large senator Melinda Romero and lawyer Zoraida Buxo earned the most votes for senator,[16] and conservative commentator Elizabeth Torres, municipal lawmaker Roberto Lefranc Fortuño, former Ponce Mayor María Meléndez, and Junventud PNP director Adriel Vélez earned the most votes for the House delegation.[17] However, former governor Ricardo Rosselló earned enough write-in votes to gain a seat in the House delegation over Vélez.[18][19][20] Voter turnout was at a record low level — 3.92% — in the election.[21]
State elections
Gubernatorial
Two states will hold regularly scheduled gubernatorial elections in 2021, and one more state held a recall election:
- California: A recall petition was launched against first-term Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, mainly for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis scheduled the recall election for September 14, 2021; voters began receiving their mail ballots in August.[23] The election featured two questions: whether to recall Newsom, and who would replace him if he were recalled. A large number of candidates were listed on the replacement ballot, with major candidates including talk show host Larry Elder,[24] financial analyst Kevin Paffrath,[25] businessman John H. Cox,[26] former mayor of San Diego Kevin Faulconer,[27] state assemblyman Kevin Kiley,[28] media personality Caitlyn Jenner,[29] and former U.S. Representative Doug Ose,[30] among others.[31] The recall was unsuccessful and Newsom stayed in office.[32]
- New Jersey: One-term Democrat Governor Phil Murphy is eligible for re-election, and is seeking a second term.[33][34][35] Former State assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli won the Republican primary.[36] The Libertarian Party nominated Gregg Mele,[37] the Green Party Madelyn Hoffman,[38] and the Socialist Workers Party Joanne Kuniansky.[39]
- Virginia: Virginia's term limit laws do not allow sitting governors to serve consecutive terms, so incumbent Democrat Governor Ralph Northam is precluded from running again for the office until the next gubernatorial election in 2025. Former governor Terry McAuliffe won the Democratic primary and former co-CEO of The Carlyle Group Glenn Youngkin was nominated at the Republican convention. Liberation Party candidate Princess Blanding is running in the race as well.[40][41]
Lieutenant gubernatorial
One state will hold a lieutenant gubernatorial election in 2021:
- Virginia: One-term Democratic Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax was eligible to run for a second term, but instead ran unsuccessfully for Governor.[42] State delegate Hala Ayala won the Democratic primary and former state delegate Winsome Sears was nominated at the Republican convention.[43]
Attorney general
One state will hold an attorney general election in 2021:
- Virginia: Two-term Democrat Attorney General Mark Herring initially ran for governor but withdrew to run for a third term.[44] He defeated state delegate Jay Jones in the Democratic primary.[45] State delegate Jason Miyares was nominated at the Republican convention.[46]
Legislative
Legislative elections will be held for both houses of the New Jersey Legislature and the lower house of the Virginia General Assembly. Democrats currently hold majority control of the New Jersey Senate and the General Assembly. The Virginia House of Delegates is also held by Democrats, though by only a few seats, giving Republicans an opportunity to regain control.

- 2021 New Jersey State Senate election
- 2021 Virginia House of Delegates election

The Cherokee Nation is holding elections to its Tribal Council on June 5.[61]
In July 2021, St. Regis Mohawk Tribe voters elected Ronald LaFrance Jr. chief in a special election, ousting incumbent chief Eric Thompson. Thompson had narrowly beaten LaFrance, who ran as a write-in candidate in the regular June election, but appeals called that election into question, resulting in the special election.[62]
