EP67 - The Tsunami 64 Democrats: Virginia House Results with Fergie Reid, Jr. With a record-shattering 13-seat gain, Virginia Democrats have taken commanding control of the House of Delegates — setting the stage for a new political era. Virginia’s focused and hard driving Speaker, Don Scott, will lead a 64–36 majority as Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger prepares to break a glass ceiling into history as Virginia’s first woman governor of Virginia. Together, they’ll chart the Commonwealth’s policy future when the new session begins in January 2026. Fergie Reid Jr.—son of the first Black member of the Virginia House of Delegates ( Dr. William Ferguson Reid, Sr. ), founder of the voter initiative 90for90 , and a key recruiter of 2025 Virginia candidates—joins Lauren Burke, the publisher of Black Virginia News, to discuss this historic turning point in Virginia’s political history.
