RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Democrats picked up wins in critical state Senate battlegrounds Tuesday night, leaving them just one seat shy of an outright majority that would give the party continued leverage to blunt GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s conservative agenda.
Candidates made their case to voters this cycle on the economy, the environment, public safety and schools, but no issue was more hotly contested than abortion in the last state in the South without new restrictions since the end of Roe v. Wade. “On the one hand, I support right for life. But on the other hand, there’s times when a young lady maybe did not have a choice,” he said.
The governor headlined his party’s campaign events. He appeared with candidates in competitive districts statewide as part of a bus tour promoting an early voting initiative aimed at reversing years of GOP mistrust in the policy. Democrat Danica Roem, a current member of the House of Delegates, defeated Republican Bill Woolf in a northern Virginia Senate district with a slight Democratic lean.
