Nov. 4, 2025, 8:41 PM ESTBy Alexandra MarquezVirginia state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi on Tuesday became the first Muslim American woman elected to statewide office in the U.S. with her victory in the state’s lieutenant governor’s race, NBC News projects.Her historic victory comes the same night that former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, whom NBC News projects as the winner in Virginia’s governor’s race, became the first woman elected governor in the state.This is the second time Hashmi has made history in an election; in 2019 she was the first Muslim American woman elected to Virginia’s state Legislature. Since then, Hashmi has served in the statehouse representing a district southwest of Washington, D.C.Last month, Hashmi told The Washington Post that she hoped voters would send a message showing that they’re “not divided” on “lines of bigotry.”“We’re really showing the rest of the country that Virginia is in a position where we embrace diversity,” she said.Spanberger and Hashmi, both Democrats, ran alongside other members of their party seeking statewide office in Virginia, but governors and lieutenant governors are elected separately in the state. Ghazala Hashmi won the election to be Virginia’s next lieutenant governor, NBC News projects.Caroline Gutman for The Washington Post via Getty ImagesVirginia’s lieutenant governor holds few official responsibilities, but the person can serve as a crucial tie-breaker in the state Senate and is first-in-line to succeed the governor in the case of death or resignation.Several lieutenant governors in the state have used the position as a launching pad for gubernatorial campaigns, including Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican nominee for governor this year.“Lieutenant Governor-elect Hashmi ran a brilliantly focused campaign all about lowering costs, growing Virginia’s economy, and ensuring our kids have access to high-quality child care and education,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said in a statement.

The show’s start was delayed because of college football. Domingo, now a recurring character played by Marcello Hernández, returned as Chloe Fineman’s Kelsey once again humiliated husband Matt, played by Andrew Dismukes. Kelsey was focused on Matt’s 30th birthday, with a romantic night out, a table for two and her best friends, the “Kelsquad,” which sang about their recent trip to Nashville with Kelsey — and Domingo.”D, O, M, I, N, G, O, Domingo!” they sang. Enter Domingo, traveling Lothario, goateed singer, crooning about the night he and Kelsey had in Nashville, which, he noted, triggered a noise complaint. “Kelsey, I’m serious, this is strike six!” a frustrated Matt warned.Politics weren’t kept completely out of the show, as President Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, continued a political strategy of appearing on podcasts.This time, Trump took a seat at the table hosted by the “Snack Homiez,” a group of 12-year-old boys — and one 13-year-old “unc” — portrayed by Carpenter and women on the cast. They discussed “GOATed” vegetables and best Halloween candies.”Some vegetables are fire, and some vegetables low-key be a fruit,” Carpenter’s character said on the podcast.Trump was introduced by podcast host Braylor, played by Fineman: “You know him, he’s all over TikTok: President Donald J. Trump.”Trump was asked to weigh in with his favorite vegetable. “I’ve never been one for the veggies,” said Johnson’s Trump. “Ding Dongs. I like a Ding Dong.””We love Little Debbie,” he continued. “She does tremendous work. It’s awful what happened to her.”Johnson’s Trump meandered off-topic in response to a question about his thoughts on Airheads candy. “You know who I do like is George Santos,” he told the boys. “He’s weird. He’s a liar. I think he’s great. We don’t know anything about him. He’s one of our favorite people. I don’t know him at all. I don’t know anything about him.”Trump on Friday commuted the sentence of the former U.S. representative, who served only a few months of a more than seven-year sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Johnson’s Trump referenced Santos’ commutation as he spoke about the day’s nationwide No Kings protests.”The people are marching because they’re happy he’s free, right?” he said of Santos. “It’s a ‘Yes, King’ march.” “So, maybe if I think about it, blue Airhead,” Johnson’s Trump finally concluded. “SNL” airs on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which is also the parent company of NBC News.Dennis RomeroDennis Romero is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.

It’s not a talking point. It is in the text of the bill that they initially gave to us to reopen the government.”Republican lawmakers point blame at Democrats on first day of government shutdown04:27U.S. law already prohibits unauthorized immigrants from gaining any federally subsidized health care coverage — through Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, the Children’s Health Insurance Program or otherwise. A 1996 statute established that.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Republicans are “lying” about the Democratic bill out of weakness.“Nowhere have Democrats suggested that we’re interested in changing federal law,” he said one day before the shutdown. “The question for the president is whether he’s interested in protecting the health care of the American people.”We’d like to hear from you about how you’re experiencing the government shutdown, whether you’re a federal employee who can’t work right now or someone who is feeling the effects of shuttered services in your everyday life. Please contact us at tips@nbcuni.com or reach out to us here.The factsThe Republican claim is highly misleading.The Democratic bill would not change existing law barring people who are in the U.S. illegally from getting federal health care coverage.The dispute centers around immigrants whom the federal government has decreed as “lawfully present,” but who haven’t formally been given legal status that is enforceable in court.There are an estimated 1.4 million people considered “lawfully present” in the United States — including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program beneficiaries, who came to the U.S. illegally as children; people who have Temporary Protected Status; and refugees and people seeking asylum who are still going through the legal process. Republicans are seeking to prohibit Medicaid or ACA eligibility for those groups.They are not “undocumented” or “illegal” immigrants. The government knows who they are, and many are going through the process of seeking official legal status or green cards. Among other things, they are not unlawful border-crossers who have been flagged for deportation.The GOP law prohibited those “lawfully present” immigrants from accessing federal health care programs. The Democratic bill would restore that access — but not for undocumented people who lack protected status — while also restoring the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts, a core goal for Democrats.The White House defended its claim by pointing to one portion of the “big beautiful bill” that Democrats are seeking to repeal, a section called “Alien Medicaid eligibility.” That section establishes the new limitations on health care access for lawfully present immigrants (“alien” is the federal term used to describe a noncitizen).The White House also says the Biden administration abused the immigration parole program to grant temporary entry to the U.S. for people who shouldn’t have received it. But if the Trump administration revoked that parole status, those individuals would lose their eligibility for any health care coverage under the Democratic proposal.Another provision in the Democratic bill would extend subsidies that keep health insurance premiums low for people insured through the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire later this year. Undocumented immigrants are already barred from accessing that money, and nothing in the Democrats’ bill changes that.Sahil KapurSahil Kapur is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.Hallie JacksonHallie Jackson is senior Washington correspondent for NBC News.Kyle StewartKyle Stewart is a producer and off-air reporter covering Congress for NBC News, managing coverage of the House.Gabe GutierrezGabe Gutierrez is a senior White House correspondent for NBC News.Megan Lebowitz and Tara Prindiville contributed.
