Democrats lose a statewide race in Virginia for the first time since 2009, breaking a 12-0 run in the state. They lost to an ultramillionaire who spent the whole campaign yelling about critical race theory while the Democrat just called him "Glenn Trumpkin" the whole race.

      Probably more portentious of 2022 than 2024 (Democrats got annihilated here in 2009 after Obama won, but rebounded by 2012), but it's a bad night to be a Democrat for sure.

        Dems are gonna get fucking bodied in the midterms. lmao

        And I would say that's bad, but I'm guessing it'll be functionally indistinct from what we have now.

          If they get the numbers I would not be shocked if the GOP impeaches Biden and Harris and installs Trump as president, constitution be damned.
