RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Democrats held their majority in the state Senate on Tuesday, but control of the House of Delegates remained
unsettled late into the evening, with vote counting still underway in key races.
The Democrats’ victory in the upper chamber ended the prospect of a Republican trifecta that would have allowed Gov. Glenn Youngkin to
swiftly move on conservative policy priorities — including a proposed 15-week abortion ban — that Senate Democrats have been able to stymie in his first two years in office. The chamber has been under Democratic
control since 2020, and the party’s candidates ran campaigns this year emphasizing a pledge to protect abortion rights.
“It’s official: there will be absolutely no abortion ban legislation sent to Glenn Youngkin’s desk for the duration of his term in office, period,
as we have thwarted MAGA Republicans’ attempt to take total control of
our government and our bodies,” Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus Chair Mamie Locke said in a statement referencing Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
