having a lot of cats. i mean a lot of cats. and, b, he got hit by a cow. he got hit by a taxi cab. he s fine. lots of cats and getting run over by a cow, i mean that s impressive headlines. it s hard to piece that into a win in a deep blue democratic city. boston will get a new mayor tomorrow as well. that will be an interesting race to watch unfold. a the great american city of atlanta will get a new mayor as of tomorrow well, as of this month. in atlanta, it s 14 candidates on the ballot all running against mayor keisha lance bottoms. she s decided not to run.
points behind that. again, there was a ten-point cushion in the state for democrats. biden beat trump by ten points. mcauliffe can afford some slippage tonight from where trump ran in this state. so in arlington county, he ends up two to three points behind where biden ran, that one good news for terry mcauliffe. this is just one of those core vote-producing areas for democrats. this is the city of fairfax county. inside fairfax county is fairfax city. fairfax city is much smaller than fairfax county. they do tend to vote similarly. the vote in fairfax city was similar to fairfax county. i ll show you the 2020 result in fairfax city. biden won this 68-30 over trump. fairfax county was almost 70% for joe biden.

smattering of votes. we re looking for but don t really have completed counties to give you a comparison to 2020. giving you a sense of what we re looking for as the vote fills in. virginia beach, this is the closest thing there is to a bellwether county or city. a small amount of the vote in right now. here s glenn youngkin, up 20 with the tally we have. this is a city that jihadi joed whon by more than five points. it s a city that biden flipped from donald trump. there s about 450,000 people here. this is the biggest city in virginia. glenn youngkin, this is one he wants to win. this is one he wants get up to probably to 52% or so tonight. that s probably the youngkin campaign s goal in virginia beach. win it and get a pad in virginia beach. youngkin friendly vote.
