It s not just McAuliffe vs. Youngkin. The fight is on for control of Virginia s House. – POLITICO

When Virginia voters cast their ballots in two weeks, they re not just weighing in on a closely watched governor s election one that s been hyped as a bellwether ahead of the 2022 midterms and a judgement on President Joe Biden. They re also deciding whether to keep legislative Democrats in office, a choice that will determine how much statewide power the party will yield and reveal voters satisfaction with the crush of progressive laws enacted in the last two years.

Virginia might be increasingly blue at the presidential level, but Democrats only came to control both chambers of the state legislature in 2019, after nearly two decades of mostly Republican control. Next month, they could lose control of both the governor s mansion and the House, all in one day.
