🚫👑Is he dead yet?🚫👑48This is fabulous. When. I was a kid, Alaska was blue. Glad to see it back.

minion of midas16Not that that's been in the slightest doubt since the first few precinct results, it's just how you (plural) have decided to treat ranked choice, as if it were a runoff. But nice to hear he's crept above 50% outright!
Shocking14Well, thankfully it was premature to say the American experiment was over. Decency and sanity dominated the midterms and the vote was for a return to something normal. No Kings became reality.
hkarmaman.bsky.social7Out of nowhere, the great white state of Alaska delivers the last two nails to close up the MAGA Coffin !
civil4liberties.bsky.social5That’s huge. Even if they don’t get a democratic senator, the state agenda will now focus on benefits for its citizens. Dunleavy lost because of his unpopular education policies, Permanent Fund dividends agendas, cuts to health and social services, and cost of living and taxes agendas.
🗽LOLGOP🗽139It's a piddling thing, but so many of these Democrats look like humans, while all the GOP candidates look like mannequins that haven't been changed since 1997.
Jack Tindale37Congratulations to everyone's boyfriend from Hackney on winning the Alaska Gubernatorial race.
Isobel Hadley-Kamptz 12Nu börjar det här bli överdrivet….
CE (Catie) Murphy11and the last democratic governor was a sleezeball in the oil companies’ pockets, so
Anna0tt0 🌵9Alla fine hanno contato anche i voti tra gli orsi (letteralmente penso) e pure l'Alaska...
randy r. potts8Blue Wave Band still dropping those hits
Yonatan3It appears he was an organizer on the Howard Dean campaign back in 2003!
Jonathan Eby3this man is a YIMBY
Robert Moffitt2I called it, and now CNN has, too. bsky.app/profile/cnn....
Silly Rookie2When your DM says he's got less time for DnD and you ask why.
Wow! Alaska is now one of 30 states with Democratic governors. THIRTY! 📌 Kreiss-Tomkins will be Alaska's first elected Democratic governor since Tony Knowles won reelection in 1998, ending a 28-year drought.
Colleen32I hope they outlaw gerrymandering and all political dirty tricks. I hope they find a way to help people right away. People are suffering so much.
benzheng.bsky.social24This kid will grow up to be a governor of Alaska one day
actualjimlynch.bsky.social20And what’s been the Republican response? “ we need to be even bigger assholes.”
Peace, Love, Women’s Rights 💙19Kick. Ice. Out. Of. All. 30. States.
Marilyn French17So proud of our voters who turned out for democracy.
Steve13If I properly did this, here is a new map of the United States showing the color of each state, blue or red, based on whether the governor is a Democrat or a Republican.
Pam Keith39HOLY SHIT!!! I mean…on my best day, I didn’t see this coming.
David S. Cohen2575% of the country’s population governed by Democratic governors now.
hotoynoodle875% of the US now has a Democratic governor. LFG.
Huey Li750.2%! No need to count the 2nd preference votes!
Dollyanna630? The majority of the Nation is now BLUE following a referendum vote on the republican party? This is a rebuke. A REVELATION. WE HAVE REVEALED A DEMON. We will reveal a pedophile and sex trafficking political party very soon. We voted out supporters of Donald trump, #WorstPresidentEver
Scrappy5Election results as of Nov 13, 8:15am CT provided by The Associated Press
Lily is anti-ICE, anti-fascist, anti-MAGA, anti-DSA5Gosh, will Republicans say this election was unfair because two of the losers had 4-letter first names on the ballot and that Republican voters were confused as they didn't know how to read again?
Steve4If I properly did this, here is a new map of the United States showing the color of each state, blue or red, based on whether the governor is a Democrat or a Republican. 30 Democratic Governors is huuge! It tells you what can happen when we vote.
Bluesky Feeds and Trends 📌4Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins takes Alaska's governorship. The last time a Democrat won that job there, everyone's big fear was Y2K. More in our "Midterm Aftermath" feed: https://bsky.app/profile/bluetrends.bsky.social/feed/midterm-election-aftermath
GameMasterPOW 😷👫🐶🐱🐠🟧✝️💙3This is going to be a giant help to keep our elections secure. Now time for some of the Governors to get rid of their voter suppression laws. Let We The People speak. Our vote is our super power.
JUST NOW: Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins has won the governor's race in Alaska, CNN projects. He will be the first Democratic governor of Alaska since 2002. He will get to govern with the "Coalition" of Democrats and moderate Republicans that are running the state legislature, in a pseudo-trifecta.
Taniel411A thing Alaska officials should tackle immediately boltsmag.org/prosecuted-f...
minion of midas25Has won an outright majority of first prefs. That's all that was in question.* We've known for ten days that he'd won. *even that wasn't really in question anymore for a while. But he wasn't above 50 yet until the last update.
Jen15Think Murkowski will caucus with Dems next term?
benzheng.bsky.social10This kid will grow up to be a governor of Alaska one day
MadGreek 🧿4JKT is the winner as predicted 💙
Alison Grinter Allen2Soooo many people are going to have state leaders who refuse to play stupid games with their lives! And as a Texan I love this new development for all of us!!
David M. Perry100The new statehouses are such good news, such a bulwark against the invading enemy (the federal government)
Scott Colom Stan41He won by 25 points lmfao
Lucas💙 | #ISurvivedBB2821The blue wave still claiming victims 🤭
Renee13i love that we’re still getting little blasts of good news after the glorious firehose of last week
neuse river hag13to amelia the very nice woman who provided us a hand curated list of places to go and things to see in anchorage when we went up there for an implementation workshop and also gasped in horror, cat tree behind her on zoom, when i said "there's more than one way to skin a cat": congratulations
Orion🌈&sm9eb10!!!!! A DEM GOVERNOR IN ALASKA!!! @jasonhickel.bsky.social !!!
Andrew Palmer 🦃8democrats will have a senate seat (once it’s called after RCV), the governorship, and the legislature murkowski PLEASE just be an independent now and caucus with democrats lol
Manoj Mate6Democrats win AK Governor's race, completing the path to control of 30 governorships nationwide.
David 🇨🇦6Murk gonna join Ted Cruz as the last Republican in a blue state
Mira 🇧🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦5Alaska turned blue as well!
Former state rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins has finally been projected as the winner of the Alaska Governor’s race, flipping that seat to blue and becoming the first Democrat in two decades to be elected Alaska’s Governor. The blessings keep coming. 💙👊
CALI GIRL15More good news! 👏👏👏 Keep it coming. We need it. It's been a 10 year drought. Well, almost. We had a 4 year break with Biden, but Shitler still dominated the news.
J H11Hopefully the Senate race follows suit!
Donate Krappe 🦒9Good news! 💙🤞for Mary Peltola to be projected as Alaska's Senator elect soon!
smartassakgirl.bsky.social6JKT is going to be great for our state. I am so proud to have supported him with my Union SEIU775. Can’t wait for him to get started!
robertswartz.bsky.social6Twenty years after they last elected Palin. What a world.
Aleksander Pereswiet-Soltan1Does the Dem Lt. Gov win also?
GoogeliArt 🦋💙PD2The blessings keep coming. 💙👊
Ballots are still being counted across the state, but this much is clear: Alaskans are ready for change. Mary Peltola’s lead continues to grow in the Alaska Senate race. Also leading is Jonathan S. Kreiss-Tomkins (known as JKT), a Democrat running for Governor of Alaska. Let's turn Alaska Blue 💙
Never Give Up6I am super excited for Mary Peltola but to top Alaska with a BLUE GOVERNOR would be supreme!
besmartcolorado.bsky.social4I think this election answered the question about whether government should benefit everyone or whether it should excessively benefit a very select few. Mary brought that issue to the forefront in Alaska.
terririder.bsky.social3Another US senator AND another governor? 😁 Gotta love that 💙 🇺🇲
Diaspora20222I am as excited & pleased for Mary, and her constituents, as I am any other newly elected woman. She will be FANTASTIC! 👏🏽 Brava, Alaska! 🪶 #TheGreatWorkBegins
Lou2Like the Senate Race, JKT needs the 50%+1 to win the Governor's race outright. He is almost there.
🐾Terrierist 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️1Oh, a democratic governor would be great, too!!! 💙💙💙
‼️ THE BLUENAMI CONTINUES!! 💙 Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins has won the Alaska gubernatorial election, defeating three Republican candidates. (via CNN). He becomes the first Democrat to be elected governor of Alaska since 1998.
