US voters will head to the polls Tuesday for off-year state and local elections in what is expected to serve as a bellwether for national trends at the ballot box in 2024.
Some of the key matchups are also seen as a referendum on GOP presidential contender Donald Trump, 77, who now leads President Biden, 80, in five of the 2024 race’s six battleground states.
Tuesday’s most competitive races include gubernatorial contests in Kentucky and Mississippi, along with state legislature elections in Virginia that will determine whether Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin can win a majority there.
The outcome of ballot initiatives in Ohio, a Pennsylvania Supreme Court race, special congressional elections and other state contests will also help Democrats decide whether they have a winning message for next year’s general election with Biden at the top of their ticket.
The results will come as Biden is battling mounting pressure to step aside over everything from his dismal poll numbers to concerns about his age.
Some districts are closing schools Tuesday to make way for voters, so check your locality for more information.

Virginia is going to interesting given the money that has been pumped into it by both sides.
Hopefully we can oust the dems from our Virginia Senate and hold the House to give us the trifecta to undo the damage the dems did to our Commonwealth in the two years they held total sway.
The dems have been harping on abortion while the gop on crime....I guess we will see which issue holds sway as something to run on.
Hope springs eternal the gop will prevail but it will be a close thing.
