Earlier this month, Democrats won decisively in the Virginia gubernatorial election. The party’s triumph in the state was broad-based, as Democrats nearly secured a supermajority in the Virginia House of Delegates. Even Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for attorney general who sent text messages hoping for the death of the children of a political rival in 2022, won comfortably. He carried 52.9% of the statewide vote against incumbent Republican Jason Miyares, powered by decisive margins in the party’s base of northern Virginia — 68% in Fairfax County, 77% in Alexandria, and 78% in Arlington.
