Virginia races this November to give clues about national contests next year and the GOP governor’s future
Virginia voters’ choices this November will give crucial clues about the direction of the national elections next November, and about the political future of a rising Republican star: Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Control of the state legislature is at stake, with all 140 seats in both chambers up for grabs. Democrats hold a slim majority in the Senate, Republicans have an edge in the House.
Youngkin, while not on the ballot, is pushing hard for a GOP trifecta so he can pass a 15-week abortion limit and other conservative priorities—and so he can burnish his reputation as a Republican who can win in swing territory after his 2021 victory put him on the national map.

WSJ: Glenn Youngkin’s Quest to Keep Virginia From Becoming Illinois
Glenn Youngkin’s Quest to Keep Virginia From Becoming Illinois - WSJ
Before he can think about running for president, the Republican governor has to rein in public unions.
Conventional wisdom says that Virginia’s legislative elections in November could make or break Glenn Youngkin’s presidential ambitions. Yet the stakes are much higher for Virginia residents. This election, in which all 140 seats in the bicameral General Assembly will be contested, may decide whether Virginia remains a haven for families and taxpayers or goes the route of failing states like Illinois.
Virginia is on the verge of the death spiral that comes when government unions conquer a state. In 2020 then-Gov. Ralph Northam signed a law allowing localities to authorize collective bargaining for public employees, fulfilling a long-running demand from one of the Democratic Party’s biggest electoral backers.
