Democrats Lost More Seats in Vermont Than Any Other State

December 14, 2024 · 10:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “To be sure, the election did not come close to ending the Democratic majorities in either chamber of the State Legislature. In the 150-member House, Republicans will now hold 56 seats instead of 37; in the 30-member Senate, their numbers increased from 13 to 17.”

“But the shift is expected to change the dynamics at the State House, motivating Democrats who may have once ignored the minority’s views to engage in more discussion and consider more compromise.”
