EP66 - Virginia Elections 2025: Reactions to a Blue Tsunami. In this episode of the Black Virginia News podcast, Phil Thompson and Lauren Burke give their first impressions of election night in Virginia. Democrats completed a stunning victory and extended their majority in the Virginia House of Delegates under the leadership of Virginia House Speaker Don Scott and his campaign chair Delegate Dan Helmer. The 2025 vote was a massive repudiation of the policies of President Donald Trump and could be seen in the results around the country. The moment sets up for a collision for the GOP heading into the 2026 midterm elections that will decide power in the U.S. House of Representatives.
