Alongside Democrat Ralph Northam’s much-wider-than-expected victory margin in Virginia’s critical gubernatorial race against Republican Ed Gillespie, Democrats have also scored shockingly huge gains in Virginia’s state House of Delegates. So far tonight, Team Blue has picked up an astounding 14 seats, with many gains coming in well-educated suburban seats where Donald Trump has proven toxic.
The Democratic flips include:
