Democrats Flip Virginia!

The state house in Virginia goes blue. The Democrats swept Republicans out to sea.

The BLUE WAVE crashed in Virginia.

Despite the controversies facing governor Ralph Northam and lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax, the state house of the Commonwealth of Virginia will be Democratic.

This year, Republicans were hoping to capitalize on the culture wars.

Northam who is by Virginia law allowed to serve one term was caught up in a blackface scandal in which he acknowledge he participated in it. Fairfax, was accused by two women of sexual abuse.

The Republicans were hoping that Northam and Fairfax's scandals will bring them back to power.

It turns out that Donald J. Trump''s scandals were bigger than Northam's. Republicans stalling Northam's agenda and the gridlock have made voters come out against them. It gave the Democrats a near supermajority.

Democrats swept through the Virginia races.

The state for the first time in 26 years will be controlled by the Democrats. That means the agenda will be hopefully swift. This year's mass shooting in Virginia Beach, the shooting of Roanoke reporter Allison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, and the Virginia Tech massacre have been fresh on the minds of gun reform advocates. Hopefully, Virginia Democrats can pass legislation that deals with gun violence. Also they have the power to remove Confederate statues and memorials. They have the power to pass legislation on climate change and regulate the state's offshore drilling near Chesapeake Bay.

The Republicans continuous stalling of gun reform and anti-Trump sentiment may have helped Democrats retake the state.

The woman who flipped Trump won a local election.

Republicans which held firm on the suburbs and rural areas were usurped in some of the state's most hottest contests.

Virginia went to George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. It went to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. It went to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The state's Democrats dictate the terms of the congressional redistricting. Republicans had previously had control of the state's redistricting and gerrymandered districts. Now Democrats could return the favor and remain in power for decades.

Some of the biggest achievements were the boyfriend of the slain reporter Alison Parker, Del. Chris Hurst winning his reelection. Transgender activist turned state delegate, Del. Danica Roem won her reelection. The state has its first Muslim state senator. Sen-elect Ghazala Hashmi is the first Muslim woman to serve in the Virginia Commonwealth Senate.

Even in local politics, the woman who flipped of Trump while on route to his Virginia property won her election against a Republican.

Juli Briskman won her race to become supervisor of the Algonkian District in Loudoun County.

She was the woman who gave the third digit salute to Trump. She was fired out the cannon at marketing job at Akima, LLC. She decided to run for politics to unseat a Republican who supported the Trump agenda.

Newport News Republican Del. David Yancey was defeated finally. His opponent Shelly Simonds lost last time to him by a coin flip. They both tied in 2017 election. So the state decided the election results on a coin flip. Simonds announced she was seeking a rematch and this time she had enough votes to knock that fool out. Yancey, who was one of the most conservative members of the Virginia Delegation lost handily.
