Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) had a stark warning for members of her party in the aftermath of the Democrats’ underwhelming performance in the House of Representatives in 2020. Less than two days after Democrats failed to gain a single seat prognosticators like Larry Sabato and Stuart Rothenberg said they would, Spanberger told her caucus in […]
If there’s one thing Virginia Democrats can take solace in, it’s this: The Virginia State Senate won’t be up for reelection until 2023. The Republican Party’s close but consistent wins across the state undeniably show that the GOP could have added another state government trifecta to its ranks on Tuesday. As it stands, Democrats have […]
Regaining control of the House of Delegates and not losing a single incumbent in the process made for a pretty good week for House Minority Leader Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah).

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin’s predictions on Virginia’s 2021 elections have aged rather poorly.

Without the erosion in support from the Cronkite era to today, the mainstream media would continue to own the political narrative. Instead there’s been an explosion in conservative alternatives to the legacy media […]

Virginia Democrats were humbled by last night’s election shellacking. And election results are still coming in. At the top of the ticket, Glenn Youngkin defeated Terry McAuliffe 51-49. Honestly, Youngkin appeared to be on track for a 2-5 point victory 30 minutes after the polls closed. CNN and other outlets announced earlier that Republican Winsome […]
Election Day is finally here and polls in Virginia have closed. The race for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates are up for grabs.
