Virginia Holds First Elections of New Trump Era

“The first special elections since President-elect Donald Trump won a second term are arriving on Tuesday in Virginia, where voters in three races will determine the majorities in the state’s legislature,” the New York Times reports.

“At first glance, the contests hold little mystery: Democrats have significant advantages in the State House district and one of the two State Senate districts that are up for grabs, while the other district in the upper chamber is all but certain to remain in Republican hands.”

“But even if there are no upsets, the margins of the races will provide the first hints of voter attitudes as Mr. Trump prepares to take office for a second time.”
