Virginia
In November 2025, Democrats won a trifecta when Abigail Spanberger flipped the governorship, defeating her opponent by nearly 15 percentage points. Following the redistricting referendum in April 2026, two previously competitive House seats are now likely to be won by Democrats, and we’ve expanded our map to compete in two newly competitive House races this fall.
