Virginia
In November 2025, Democrats won a trifecta when Abigail Spanberger flipped the governorship, defeating her opponent by nearly 15 percentage points. In 2026, we expect to compete in two competitive House races. (The map would have expanded for Democrats following passage of the April 2026 redistricting referendum, but its implementation was blocked by the Virginia Supreme Court.)
