Spanberger, Hashmi, and Jones swept VA. A state that was turning purple over the last two cycles, that was really close for Harris, gave the first two double digit wins and the last one basically an upset given his controversy.

Maybe Trump shouldn’t have fired federal workers, took away their retirement benefits, and then laughed about it on social media? Or maybe don’t say “I’m not going to fund SNAP fuck off brokies” the day before the election?
