Virginia Democrats are projected to win control of both of the state’s legislature bodies, according to Decision Desk HQ, dealing a major blow to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s agenda for the remainder of his term.

Democrats won control of the House of Delegates and maintained their grip on the state Senate. Tuesday’s election results mark a reversal from two years ago, when Youngkin was elected governor and Republicans won control of the House of Delegates.

    They’re so much smaller in number that it’s much, much harder for them to regress the US than baby boomers. Seriously, look at these numbers. I understand a lot of ‘independents’ vote Right Wing, but those numbers are bleak for republicans. They’re nearly out-numbered 2-1 by Democrats in Gen-Z.

      Wish it had stats on eligible or likely voters (2012 kids can’t vote, and I doubt there’s many people who are 95 years old left who also vote). This is why the GOP tactic is voter suppression, they can’t beat these numbers if everyone registers and turns out to vote.
