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.

      I was going to write a deeply cynical reply, but really, none of this needs any more cynicism.

      I’m going to just focus on that something good happened.

        I appreciate you doing that. There’s plenty of time for cynicism. For now, let’s celebrate our victories and rally together.
