Inaugural 2023 Virginia Senate Ratings: Democrats Favored in 20 Seats, but the Path to 21 is Tough

[RandySF]

Starting in the key chamber this cycle, the Virginia Senate is the last body of government in the state not held by Republicans after the GOP swept all three statewide races and won back the House of Delegates in the 2021 sweep. The Senate, led by Louise Lucas, has named itself the “brick wall” against the Youngkin agenda. That hasn’t stopped everything from being passed, as some defections occured on matters of tax policies and mask mandates when those were still a thing. With Lieutenant Gov Winsome Sears breaking all ties, Republicans only need 20 seats to hold a majority, while Democrats need 21. In our ratings, Democrats are already at 20, but the road to get that 21st seat will likely not be easy.
