Virginia elections will test the backlash against Musk – and Democrats are ready with a plan

The memo describes legislative Democrats in Virginia as being on the frontlines responding to Trump's chaos and havoc, while Republicans such as the governor, Glenn Youngkin, expressed support for Doge cuts. State Republicans unanimously voted against a constitutional amendment to protect abortion access and voted nearly entirely in lockstep against a ban on assault weapons. 

Democrats claim to be seeing mounting enthusiasm and have launched campaigns in 97 of 100 districts, whereas Republicans have recruited candidates for just 63 districts. The memo observes: "Opportunities to move policy and build power aren't happening in Washington – they're happening in the statehouses."
