Her speech was great: Spanberger took one of the few swipes at the Trump administration in her speech when she talked about the furloughs and mass layoffs affecting thousands of federal workers in Virginia. “Virginia’s economy doesn’t work when Washington treats our Virginia workers as expendable,” she said. “And to those across the Potomac who are attacking our jobs and our economy, I will not stand by silently.” |

Former President Barack Obama, who held rallies for Mikie Sherill and Abigail Spanberger, congratulated all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. “It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win,” he said on social media. “We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.” |

Both the Sherrill and Ciattarelli campaigns were paying close attention to Gloucester County in the southern part of the state as a potential bellwether, a largely rural area with some Philadelphia suburbs. Gov. Phil Murphy won the county in 2017 by 13 points, but Ciattarelli won it by 10 points four years later, and President Trump carried it by three points in 2024. Now, with 94 percent of the vote in, it appears Sherrill will win the county by three points. |

Still a year away unfortunately and the Republicans still control all 3 branches of Government. Plenty of time to inflict more damage on the American populace. |
