Democrats gained control of both houses of the Virginia General Assembly Tuesday, tapping strength in the suburbs to consolidate power for the first time in a generation and deliver a rebuke to President Trump.
Several results were still close after polls closed on the most expensive and most-watched Virginia legislative races in years, but Democrats flipped at least two seats in the state Senate and at least five in the House of Delegates to takemajorities in both.
Officials reported unusually high turnout in an electionthat served as an opening salvo in next year’s presidential showdown, a test of Democratic defiance and Republican resolve in the era of Trump.
The sweep completed a dramatic political conversion, from red to blue, of a Southern state on Washington’s doorstep.
Both U.S. Senators, a majority of the congressional delegation and all three statewide office holders are Democrats. The state was carried by Democrats in the last three presidential elections. Republicans have not won a statewide contest since 2009.

The WDC area is a cesspool of illegals, government “workers”, retired government “workers”, often-unAmerican immigrants, LIB lunatics, lawyers, consultants to government, people on welfare, perverts and other assorted jetsom. They have a lot to lose if true MAGA occurs. Many of them should arrested for their various crimes.
It sure is. I’m more afraid of it coming under martial law when the real SHTF and its coming soon. So glad to not own real estate.
I saw the writing on the wall and left last year. Have not missed it and I am now in NC in a neighborhood where everyone shoots off their back porch.
Soros is smiling.
Unfortunately lots of NC turning purple...illegals and pockets of libs, gays and the like...CH, ASH, CLT, RDU, GSO...
2020 by no means in the bag...especially with electronic voting...cheating...vote harvesting...don’t see repubs doing much but but just saying we’re voting, but do our numbers add up where it is going to count???
We’re heading your way soon.
This had nothing to do with President Trump. It was in the works long before he came about.
Well, Virginia is now a blue state.
one of the flipped seats was in my area (very rural though building up- Suffolk VA)
husband and I discussed same thing tonight...with everything now blue and a governor that is totally wacked along with an idiot senator...our time is coming very soon. Just have to get our youngest graduated. Thank God that is soon.
The good news is that Florida seems to be heading for a solid Red State.
Maybe we will be heading down there to join the optimism and good feelings that Blue States Lack.
And more Electoral votes.
sigh, we are going to become unlivable MD.
7 of 10 of America’s wealthiest counties surround Washington DC.
Northern Virginia is the home of Fed.gov apparatchiks. How do you expect these people to vote?
Isn't it just amazing how EVERY SINGLE Republican gerrymander is thrown out by every court, and EVERY SINGLE Democrat gerrymander is A-OK? And the GOP barely puts up a fight.
Yup. And who on 'our side' is fighting him? Where is our George Soros??
Yes, its a loss—but we must gird our loins for the next battle. Virginia is lost, maybe Kentucky as well, but the war is still on. Lets see how Virginia likes being the new California.

We just became a second amendment sanctuary County. Mohave County, AZ. Low taxes, low cost of living, The Colorado river and a County that voted 78% for Donald Trump, We welcome you with open arms.
Screw ‘em. I’m not submitting. I can’t do much when they raise my taxes, but they’re not taking my guns.
This is a serious problem if the Dims have control of this state.
I suspect the “build up” is a influx of lefties who destroyed one area and moved in.
