🚨BREAKING: Democrats have secured HUGE victories in two Virginia special elections. They have held onto seats in SD32 and HD26, ensuring that Democrats will remain in control of the House AND the Senate. This is a big deal.

These aren't even Federal elections, Harry. Are you so reduced to finding good news you are now whoop-de-doin for state elections?

My point is that an election in a district that has been in Democrat hands for years......and remains in Democrat hands is not exactly news to tout. However, your point is a correct one. For too long, the Dems have relied on identity politics, grouping voters by sex, race, ethnicity, no longer works

But in the 2024 political landscape, even keeping Democratic seats were/would have been a win.

Not sure how possible that would have been since according to the New York Times, 89% of all counties in the United States showed Republicans gained vote numbers over 2020. Even the most urban areas with the exception of Atlanta metro gained substantial GOP votes.

Big wins for Virginia and a huge step forward for progress! Holding onto both chambers means Democrats can keep fighting for policies that actually help people. Let’s keep this momentum rolling!!

This is promising so far. That said, Democrats need 2 flip red seats or at least purple seats. Note 2 self, I do not think any of the Congressional seats in Congress in special elections will flip this year because they are still overwhelmingly red. I could be wrong though and I want to be wrong.

Not to mention that in SD 10, dems swung the vote by over 10 points in their favor. It was not called until all the votes were counted. THAT is a big deal.

After reading this article, it turns out these seats were previously held seats and kept in Democrat hands, not a huge win, at all, but expected. This folks, is how the politicos on both sides spin things; always do your own research, don't ever rely on paid politicos like Sisson.

The Democratic candidates were up by half a point over 2023 and the Republicans were down by the same amount. So some movement. Difficult to judge the Republican seat as it was unopposed last time.
