Democrats Retain Control of Virginia’s Legislature

“Democrats retained control of Virginia’s General Assembly in special elections Tuesday, according to projections from the Associated Press, dimming Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s prospects for a big legislative legacy,” the Washington Post reports.

“Republicans could have upset the balance of power in Richmond — and given Youngkin (R) the chance to restrict abortion, fund private-school vouchers and advance the rest of his conservative agenda in the final year of his term — had they flipped two Loudoun County seats on the ballot.”
