3. Here's a translation of the headlines

- Next governors of Virginia and New Jersey will be Democrats, a setback for DT

- A transgender candidate wins a local election in Virginia

- Democrats relieved after their wins in Virginia and New Jersey

- Major setback for Donald Trump, the candidates he endorsed were wiped out

- USA : 3 electoral defeats for Trump and the Republicans

7. NICE

hey is that a pun?

9. Hi Skittles

I don't think so, it is an usual way to relate an election result. What is unusual, is to cover election results in a foreign country when it is not major elections.

But I'm sure many journalists took a special delight to point the irony of some of the wins

Here, Trump is hated almost as much as he is in the US.

2. Heres a stab at it:

The governors of VA and NJ will be Dems, a setback for DT.

A victory for a transgender candidate in a local VA election.

Bigly setback for DT as Dem candidates demolished his in local (state level) VA elections.

US: 3 electoral defeats for Trump and Republicans

Extatique is really appropriate
