Commentary: The blue tsunami has a message for Virginia Democrats on data centers and campaign finance
Last Tuesday’s historic win for Democrats nationwide may not feel immediately applicable to state-level politics in Virginia, which holds its own elections on odd years rather than syncing them with federal elections. Democrats already enjoy a trifecta in the state, and last week Virginia voters handily endorsed the constitutional amendments the party put forward to secure reproductive rights, marriage equality and voting rights. So Virginia is bluer than ever – but that doesn’t mean next year’s state election will be a romp for Democrats. According to exit polls last week, 53% of voters have unfavorable views of the Democratic party. That’s better than the 59% unfavorable rating for Republicans, but it’s apparent that neither party has a well of good will to draw from.
