"Virginia Election Puts Non-MAGA Republican Strategy and Abortion Debate in Spotlight"

Virginia's legislative elections will serve as a test for Governor Glenn Youngkin's non-MAGA brand of conservative politics and his efforts to reshape the Republican Party. Youngkin, who hopes to flip the state Senate and maintain control of the House of Delegates, has endorsed candidates, campaigned extensively, and raised millions of dollars. His strategy involves recruiting candidates who reflect his conservative agenda and appeal to both Trump supporters and suburban voters. However, Democrats are projecting that they only need to retain control of the Senate to block Youngkin's policies, and Virginia's Democratic trend and focus on abortion rights could pose challenges for the Republican Party.
