   "This is what happens when the people vote. Congrats @RalphNortham and   
   @PhilMurphyNJ . And congratulations to all the victors in state legislative,   
   county and mayors' races. Every office in a democracy counts!" Obama   
   tweeted.

   Northam won the Virginia governor's race and Murphy took a New Jersey   
   governor's office that had been in Republican Chris Christie's hands for eight   
   years.    
      
   Former Vice President Joe Biden also tweeted congratulations, writing, "A   
   resounding defeat tonight for President Trump.  Voters around the country   
   rejected the ugly politics we have seen this past year.  Instead, they chose   
   candidates who unite and    
   inspire us."

   He continued by individually congratulating Democratic candidates who won   
   across the country so far, including those in mayoral and statehouse contests.    
      
   Virginia's gubernatorial contest was the first major test of Democrats'   
   ability to rebound after Trump's victory.  Both Obama and Biden, who are   
   showing an appetite to play surrogate roles in 2018, campaigned for Northam in   
   the race leading up to the    
   election.    
      
   Hillary Clinton retweeted herself on Tuesday night, reminding her followers of   
   her tweet she sent a day after she lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump.    
   She retweeted herself saying, "Yes!" to a tweet where she wrote, "Scripture   
   tells us: Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall   
   reap, if we do not lose heart."
