VT-LG: John Rodgers (R) poised to unseat David Zuckerman (R) as lieutenant governor of Vermont

John Rodgers, a Republican from Glover, was on the verge of winning Vermont’s lieutenant gubernatorial race early Wednesday morning, almost certainly unseating Progressive/Democrat David Zuckerman in what would be a rare ouster of a statewide incumbent. The dramatic conclusion came at the end of a highly competitive — and at times highly personal — contest for the state’s second highest-ranking office.

With all but six of Vermont’s 247 towns and cities reporting unofficial results by 1 a.m., Rodgers was leading Zuckerman 46.2% to 44.7%, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. Rodgers was ahead by roughly 5,700 votes.

“We feel like we’ve got it,” Rodgers said, reached by phone from his home in Glover around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. “We couldn’t be happier with the results.”

About an hour earlier, Zuckerman addressed reporters at the Vermont Democratic Party’s election night party in South Burlington, saying “there’s certainly a decent chance I’m going to lose” but declining to formally concede the race.

Arizona enshrines abortion rights in state constitution

Abortion will be protected in Arizona until the point of fetal viability after voters approved a ballot amendment codifying those protections into the state constitution, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

The amendment established that every individual has the fundamental right to abortion, and that the state of Arizona may not interfere before the point of fetal viability — the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb, usually around 24 weeks.

By passing the amendment, voters rejected the state’s current 15-week abortion ban, which was passed the GOP-controlled Legislature and signed by former Gov. Doug Ducey (R) after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Voters were also likely motivated by the state’s near-total abortion ban, which was reinstated by the state Supreme Court this past summer. It was narrowly repealed before it could take effect after a handful of Republican lawmakers crossed party lines, arguing the current 15-week law was more politically palatable and easier to defend to voters.

Whatever happens, I refuse to fault Kamala Harris.

She ran the best damn campaign she could given the way she came to lead the party ticket.
