Virginia’s statehouse control hinges on 3 key special elections
- Democrats won two special elections in Virginia, maintaining their statehouse majority, while Republicans aimed to gain control in left-leaning districts.
- The special elections occurred just before the legislative session, with Democrats holding a 21-19 edge in the state Senate and a 51-49 lead in the House of Delegates.
- Virginia's Governor Glenn Youngkin, who is term-limited, faces challenges with a Democratic legislature in his final year, as he considers a potential presidential run in 2028.
- Political analysts believe the upcoming governor's race will better reflect voter sentiment than the special elections, with significant national funding expected from both parties.
