🚨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?
Ignoring state elections is not wise.
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.
I meant at any level. Keeping Democrats in any elected office is something to celebrate, in my book.
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!!
Followed and I must say your banner picture is 👌🏼.
Thanks! I saw that hat and didn’t hesitate to buy it!!
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.
Great job!
Big Governor's race next year. Can the Dems oust Youngkin?
Youngkin is term limited. He won't be on the ballot, thank god, but whackadoodle, Winsome Spears appears to be the leading GOP candidate.
Really? Only one term in Virginia. You're right Winsome is nuts.
Only one consecutive term. He could run again, in the future, like McAuliffe did, but it's rarely successful.

Thank God
Keeps Youngkin in check. Very important.
💙👏
Good news!
I spent an hour shoveling and clearing snow off my car today so I could go cast my vote today Nothing could have gotten me to go out today on the messy icy roads Thousands lined up on Saturday for early voting. Lines were so long, it looked like it was actually election day (and freezing cold)
Thank you for your effort! - a fellow Virginian
Great news
A really big deal. Yes
What’s so big about it?
Way to go Virginia!
Thank you. Good news. Even if it's just for a hot second.
💕🏆💕
Are u sure
Fantastic!
Harry, in the future, please report election victories as state or federal, as applicable. Thank you in advance!
we need rallies monthly around the country
My two Trumpy brothers live in Virginia. This makes me so happy!!
Wonderful news - thanks Harry!
Whoo-hoo!!
🥳🥳🥳 That'll fix yukky's idea of using us to help the 💩-elect!!!!! Thank you VA!!!
The extreme right underground in Virginia are not happy. Beware.
Yes this is great news, are we grooming someone to be the next Democratic Governor. currently we have a GOP governor
Mazel Tov to them both!
🙌🎉
For real? Starting when?
Thank you for this one piece of great news today!!!
What's to stop tRump removing them once he's in power?
Whohooo we need more good news like this
There is HOPE for America 🇺🇸 now make sure North Carolina Republicans don’t steal a State Supreme Court seat where the Democratic candidate WON!
This was expected. That said, let us see if Democrats can flip some red seats later this year especially Congressional seats. Also, Democrats usually overperform in special elections.
👏👏👏
These were blue districts. There was almost zero chance they were going to lose them. The big test will be the governors race in the fall.
Oh thank goodness! Phew!
The Blue Sky of Virginia...
Everyone, remember. Russia's president Yeltsin also was impeached. Russia did it. US again try Trump impeach.
I am almost 89. I hope I can live long enough to see the elections of 2026.
I hope we all do but the Trump crime family scares me
Is this true? Afraid to believe it until I see it on a map. Lol
Thank goodness!!🙏🏽
Democrats will continue to fight for the people of Virginia. Huge win!!! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
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.
@donlemonofficial.bsky.social Virginia Dems win.
👏🏼
AYEEE LETS GOOOO
Yes!
Woohoo!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank God!!!!
Cool, but we’ve lost everything else
Great news!
Excellent news!!!
Great news.
Care to explain how?
