    What effect do you imagine the Doge ax slicing through the federal workforce will have on the VA gubernatorial election?

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      Since so many of the blue former government workers are going to have to be picking oranges in Florida, I imagine it will help turn Virginia even more red.

        To be honest, it’s not going to be like Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, and Loudoun are going to be even more blue with even higher turnout… They’ve always been high propensity voters definitely blue. It really depends on whether the Virginia GOP can mobilize the low propensity voters that do show out for Trump. Youngkin is extremely popular, but he’s viewed as a moderate in the days of Trump. Sears is less popular. She’s a little more MAGA. It could go either way.

          But surely they won’t vote against a black woman…

            Now that they might have to find a real job, they might decide it is time to turn red.
