The 2023 elections may not have the fireworks of 2024, but there is still plenty up for grabs. In this"off-year," most of which takes place on Nov. 7, Virginia will be keenly watched, particularly by followers of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and whether he can springboard Republican success into national aspirations. Meanwhile, the governor's mansion is up for grabs in Kentucky and Mississippi.
As Youngkin tries to lead Republicans to victory, he has flipped this strategy on its head, garnering candidate support around his 15-week"consensus." "There is no ban," the ad states, noting that 69% of Virginians agree with the Republican position, citing a University of Mary Washington poll. It noted that Virginia Democrats support zero limits on abortion, asking voters,"reasonable limits or no limits at all?"
Democrats are staking a lot on the abortion issue, on which they have already found success. Earlier this year, they flipped a Senate seat in a special election to fill the seat left by Rep. Jen Kiggans , messaging heavily on abortion.
