Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.

I think Kaine’s probably retiring after this term, and he’s also being a sin-eater for Warner (who is up in 2026) here.

I am so angry that 40 days without work or pay might have been for nothing.

But this isn’t over quite yet.

You can’t layoff most of the state and think you weren’t gonna pay for it. That orange prick and his goons were delusional for that.

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction β€” at least for the next few years β€”Β of the virginia republican party. lmao.

Virginia's results mean that Democrats will be able to continue their maneuver to advance a constitutional amendment to redistrict the state, including passing it through the state legislature again in January and scheduling a special election referendum for the spring.

Major win in Arlington County Public Schools, with pro-trans Moe Bryant dominating the election. Arlington County Public Schools has made headlines for defying the Trump admin on trans kids in bathrooms.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

The state flag of Virginia. The flag has a navy blue background and a white seal in the middle. In the seal, a woman holding a spear, embodying Virtue, stands on the corpse of a man, presumably a king, whose crown has fallen from his head. The words β€œsic semper tyrannis” are written beneath the people - thus always to tyrants. A statement of fact and a warning.
