While Tuesday night’s election results might not seem dramatic, they gave Democrats a lot of reasons to have confidence going into 2024. The party secured major victories in the key battleground states of Virginia and Pennsylvania, as well as Republican strongholds Ohio and Kentucky.
In Virginia, whose off-year races are seen as an early predictor for the outcome of the next presidential election, Democrats had a blowout night. They not only retained control of the state senate, the party also flipped the House of Delegates. It’s an outcome that can only be seen as a serious rebuke to Republican Gov.
