His victory, fueled by anger at the Trump administration, completed a Democratic sweep of Virginia’s three top statewide races.

Miyares refusing to sue to return money Trump.stole from VA schools and refusing to sue to restore SNAP.benefits should have sunk him as well. His bowing down to Trump hurt Virginia directly.

Trump certainly helped weak Dem candidates like Mikie Sherrill in NJ and scandal-plagued Dem candidates like Jay Jones in VA. Both of them should probably send Thank You notes to Trump.

+1 Seriously. Especially Jones.

First female Muslim to win a statewide race. It’s a good night for Va dems

The one who is in favor of the Tysons casino? Yes, great night in VA. /s

I mean, yeah! Defeat MAGA! Woo-boo! But now we have to beat down the craziness that comes with the yahoos we elected (like the casino), so they don’t destroy Tyson’s like Trump destroyed the East Wing.

It's looking great. Let's hope this continues to one year from now.

Kudos to the Democrats for fielding a candidate in every delegate race. One of the seats flipped tonight was one where a Democrat doctor beat the Republican who ran unopposed in the last election, in a district where Trump won by 3 in 2024.

+1 The Democrats flipped public offices in Mississippi and Georgia tonight too. You can't win if you don't play.

And it's a lesson to Democrats to use the same playbook as Republicans.

57% Spanberger, 43% Earle-Seares. Not even close.

Virginia Hispanics are coming back to the Democrats.

In the combined 124 Virginia counties and cities that have reported most of their votes, Spanberger improved on Kamala Harris’s 2024 margins in 119 of them. Just five voted more Republican in this election.

Among the places that shifted the most toward Spanberger were Manassas and Manassas Park, cities where more than 40 percent of residents are Hispanic and Trump made large gains in 2024.

I think Trump isn’t going to be happy tomorrow with the headlines.

Virginia Democrats now hold a 51-49 advantage in the House of Delegates, and party leaders are hoping to flip as many as nine Republican seats. It could be the biggest Democratic election in Virginia since 1989.

I'm honestly curious about the fixation on Trump. When I vote a state election, I vote based on the candidates running and their positions, not on the President. Because state and local affects my life more. When I was in Fairfax County, my taxes skyrocketed every year to the point where it became stupid to stay in retirement. I pay 15K LESS on a house in New England of the SAME VALUE then I do in Fairfax County and get to enjoy a higher quality of life.

You are "honestly curious about the fixation on Trump"? If that's true I respectfully suggest you pull your head out of your rear and wake up.

Pick up a freaking newspaper and get a clue.

I’m very well-informed. I think it’s…well…obsessive, bordering on paranoia. For a state election, I’m more concerned about schools, taxes, crime, etc.

I can think of someone obsessive and paranoid. He’s overweight, orange, and lives in a big White House.
