Election Day Recap
Topline:
- Election night 2021 was a total rejection of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats’ extreme, socialist agenda.
- Major Republican wins on election night show voters are tired of Democrats’ government overreach, divisive policies, and agenda that has burdened hardworking families.
- Republicans focused on issues that matter to families and voters in all communities: education, keeping our communities safe, rising prices, and bringing back jobs.
- Democrats in Virginia tried to run solely against President Trump and their strategy backfired.
- Republicans are in a strong position for wins across the country in 2022 including taking back the House of Representatives and Senate majorities.
- In the words of Kamala Harris, “What happens in Virginia will in large part determine what happens in 2022, 2024, and on.”
