Tonight, Virginians reminded the country of something powerful: Democracy still belongs to the people.
They showed up, stood up, and proved that even in the face of an unprecedented effort to undermine our country’s democracy, voters will have the final say. The mere existence of this special election stands in stark contrast to the gerrymanders forced on constituents in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina and shows that voters are tired of Republican attempts to silence their power at the voting booth.
Virginians’ courageous action today will have an impact far beyond the commonwealth. They didn’t just win an election — they have stopped Donald Trump’s attempt to steal the 2026 midterms in its tracks and defended the principle that elections should be fair, competitive, and decided by the people.
Let this be a message to MAGA Republicans and the White House: enough is enough.
If Republicans insist on continuing efforts to draw the American people out of a say in the future of their country, they can expect to see voters across the country follow in Virginians’ and Californians’ footsteps and rise up to stop them.
In solidarity,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States
