The entire Virginia delegation- including all of the Democrats - just voted NOT to impeach Trump.

Remember this when DPVA asks you for literally anything.
citizensimpeachment.com Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · Jun 24
It took less than two hours for the House to shoot down H.R. 537, Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution condemning the Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
A photo showing the floor of the House of Representatives, filled with members of Congress milling about and chatting as their votes to table the Articles of Impeachment today were cast. Over the image of the people standing there, chatting, is white text which reads, "ON MOTION TO TABLE H.RES.537" The vote totals are as follows: Republican - YEA 216, NAY 0, NOT VOTING 4. Democratic - YEA 128, NAY 79, NOT VOTING 5. This means that 344 members of the House voted to table these Articles of Impeachment today.

"DPVA Chairman Lamont Bagby Statement on Virginia General Assembly Passage of 2026-2028 Biennial Budget RICHMOND, VA - DPVA Chair Senator Lamont Bagby made the following statement on the House and Senate passage of HB 30, the 2026-2028 biennial budget with bipartisan votes of 23-16 in the Senate and 71-22 in the House of Delegates. "This budget is proof that when Democrats lead, Virginians see results," said DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby. "The Virginia House and Senate have delivered a budget that addresses real challenges facing Virginia families while continuing to build a stronger future for our Commonwealth. From strengthening our schools and keeping communities safe to lowering costs and expanding opportunity, this budget reflects the kind of leadership Virginians voted for last fall. On behalf of the Democratic Party of Virginia, I want to thank Chairman Luke Torian and Chairwoman L. Louise Lucas for their tireless efforts to forge this budget that will move our Commonwealth forward. We are grateful as well to Governor Spanberger and her team for their engagement in this process and look forward to her review of the budget as it reaches her desk.""

DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby Statement on Sweeping Democratic Victories: "Tonight, the people of Virginia once again made history, leading the way for our nation" bluevirginia.us/2025/11/live...
DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby Statement on Sweeping Democratic Victories RICHMOND, VIRGINIA – Democratic Party of Virginia Chair Senator Lamont Bagby tonight issued the following statement congratulating Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, Jay Jones, and the Virginia House Democratic Caucus on their resounding victories tonight: "Tonight, the people of Virginia once again made history, leading the way for our nation and showing the power of unity, progress, and moral conviction. Virginians turned out in force to support candidates who embody the very best of who we are – champions of fairness and truth over the forces of bigotry and deceit. Democrats now hold a trifecta – a landmark victory that speaks to the strength of our values and the will of the people. This triumph is not just about one election, it is a declaration that Virginians stand for commonsense reforms that move us forward as a Commonwealth and as a country. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the countless volunteers, activists, and everyday Virginians who worked tirelessly to help us achieve this victory. Together, we have sent a powerful message to the nation and the world: when we stand united, no amount of hate or lies can stand in our way. Virginia has shown America how to win – and how to lead – with courage, compassion, and conviction."
