Virginia’s Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin was handed a stunning defeat in Tuesday’s General Assembly elections, with Democrats projected to keep control of the state Senate. 

While Republican donors have been urging for Youngkin to make a late entry into the 2024 presidential race, the first-term governor said he was all-in on the GOP gaining full control of the state legislature. 

Youngkin vowed to supporters to push through at 15-week abortion ban with exceptions should Republicans flip control of the state Senate. 

Before midnight Tuesday, CNN projected that Democrats would hold onto at least 21 Senate seats, giving them the majority in the 40-seat upper chamber. 

Democrats are also leading in the House of Delegate count, which is currently controlled by Republicans.

All 100 House of Delegates seats were up for election, as were the state’s 40 Senate seats. 

Among those elected to the Senate was Danica Roem, a member of the House of Delegates, who won in a competitive district to represent the D.C. suburbs.

Roem, a former journalist, made history in 2017, when she became the first trans person to be elected to Virginia’s General Assembly. 

Additionally, former CIA agent Russet Perry, a Democrat, found success in District 31, beating Youngkin’s pick, Republican Juan Pablo Segura, who co-founded the D.C.-based District Doughnut and the app Babyscripts. 

Several districts that were expected to be tight races, hadn’t been called as midnight approached. 

Democrats were leading in the House of Delegates races, with 48 called for Democratic candidates and 42 projected to be in Republican hands. 

Democrats would need to win in 51 districts to flip control of the House of Delegates. 

One of the uncalled races was the one between the so-called ‘porn Dem’ Susanna Gibson and Republican businessman David Owen. 

Gibson’s race was one of the most watched during Tuesday’s off-off-year elections after she became embroiled in an eyebrow-raising scandal involving livestreaming sex acts with her husband for tips.
