Democrats managed to increase their majority in the Virginia House of Delegates, moving from 51 to 64 seats (with one race still undecided as of 11 p.m.) as voters turned out Tuesday in a pivotal election for control of the chamber...

Turnout surged in several suburban swing areas, reflecting continued polarization over national issues like abortion and democracy as well as local concerns over housing, health care and school funding. 

Democratic leaders credited what they described as a disciplined, issue-focused campaign that emphasized protecting abortion access and investing in public services, while Republicans leaned on messages about parental rights, public safety and economic management.

Looks like the worst case projection for Republicans was far exceeded.

 

 

It would have been helpful if the story stated how many reps there are in that state. Wiki says 100

Yes, you're right. And so is Wiki. There goes my career as a journalist.

Shades of Nov 3, 2026 midterms.  As James Carvell so aptly stated to Bill Clinton, "It's the economy, stupid!"  Well, that an Trump's constant bellicose lying.

 

Every single one!
