Senate President Stephen Sweeney, the second-most powerful official in New Jersey, conceded his loss on Wednesday to a Republican challenger who was unknown until he appeared last week to pull off one of the country's biggest upsets.

Sweeney, D-Gloucester, had been holding off admitting his loss to Edward Durr until all the votes in his legislative district encompassing Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties were counted.

On Tuesday, one week after the election, Sweeney publicly accepted that his record-long reign as New Jersey's Senate president ended at the hands of a truck driver who ran on a shoestring budget and admittedly did not expect to win.

"The results of the election are in; all votes have been fairly counted; and I, of course, accept the results," he said at a press conference in Trenton.

China’s climate envoy Xie Zhenhua and the US’ John Kerry announced the deal separately, in consecutive press conferences.

Xie told media: “In the area of climate change there is more agreement between China and the US than divergence, making it an area with huge potential for our cooperation.

“We are two days away from the end of the Glasgow Cop so we hope that this declaration can make a China-US contribution to the success of Cop26.”

Kerry said: “This declaration is a step that we can build on in order to close the [ambition] gap. Every step matters right now. We have a long journey ahead of us. We have to mitigate faster, have to cut methane emissions faster, continue to raise ambition and most of all we have to take action in order to keep 1.5C alive.”

The two sides have been discussing the deal “for months,” said Kerry. They held more than 30 virtual meetings and met in Shanghai, London and Glasgow before the agreement was reached on Wednesday afternoon.

A new DHS anti-terror bulletin also notes how both foreign Islamic terrorists and domestic extremists want to exploit the U.S. exit from Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON — Domestic extremists continue to exploit false narratives to promote violence online, calling for attacks on members of Congress, public health and school officials, even as they share information about how to build bombs, according to a new intelligence bulletin by the Department of Homeland Security that paints a picture of persistent danger.

The new National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin is expected to be released Tuesday afternoon, according to officials familiar with it. It replaces an existing bulletin published in August, which said that "ethnically motivated violent extremists and anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists will remain a national threat priority for the United States."
