Virginia Democrats are projected to win control of both of the state’s legislature bodies, according to Decision Desk HQ, dealing a major blow to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s agenda for the remainder of his term.

Democrats won control of the House of Delegates and maintained their grip on the state Senate. Tuesday’s election results mark a reversal from two years ago, when Youngkin was elected governor and Republicans won control of the House of Delegates.

    This. Besides, voting for the Democratic Party eventually will enable a split of the party. Progressive democrats and moderate democrats don’t like each other that much, but they still rather deal with each other than the other side of the aisle.

      When there are adults in the room, they don’t have to like each other to work together for common goals. The current GOP/MAGA “If the Dems are for it we’re really against it” is comical. I never thought I’d see one party become the party of Putin and Russia largely because the other party sees Putin and Russia as clear adversaries. As has been said so often, this timeline sucks.
