Turnout in 'Trump Elections'

Elevated turnout was a hallmark of Virginia's four November elections during the administration of President Trump.

Voter Turnout by Election Type

The high turnout -- combined with two redistricting legal victories at the end of the decade -- proved favorable for the Democratic Party of Virginia. During the Trump era, Virginia Democrats won five elections for statewide office; flipped 21 seats in (and gained control of) the Virginia House of Delegates; gained two seats in (and control of) the Virginia Senate; and turned a 3-8 minority in the U.S. House of Representatives into a 7-4 majority.
