These appear to be safe districts, so I’m not sure it’s all that significant.
Yes, they expected it to be similar to the last election where the Republicans got destroyed. I guess they thought they could do the same thing in these red cities/town or whatever I’m not very familiar with Virginia, but kudos to the folk who came out to vote to keep their cities/towns away from the liberal communist 🤮!
“These appear to be safe districts, so I’m not sure it’s all that significant.”
Very safe districts. Not significant insofar as meaning a damn thing in Virginia as a whole for November.
In Senate district 9 Republicans outnumber Democrats by at least 20 points; in House district 48 they have an even greater advantage. The margin of these 2 wins merely matched or slightly exceeded the partisan distribution in their respective areas.
Regardless, it still was quite surprising to see Newsweek with an actual unbiased headline.
