#HD34
Note that there's still a small chance Democrats get a 65th seat, as the AP has yet to call HD34, where GOP state Rep. Wilt has a narrow lead as we wait for provisionals.

Do we have yet another upset brewing in Virginia? #HD34 backed Trump by 6, but Democrat Andrew Payton is winning right now.

Mostly Republican areas out, but Payton's got a near 70% chance to win according to @statenavigate.org

Pretty amazing that VA House Dems targeted 14 GOP-held seats and flipped 13 of them. The only one they didn't win (#HD34) was still close—52-48!
November 7, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Wow...so close! (in a district that went 7+ pts for Trump in 2024, 18+ pts for Youngkin in 2021, 5.5 pts for Gillespie in 2017, etc.) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/wedn... h/t @notlarrysabato.bsky.social

For #Virginia election watchers: post-election (PE) absentee mail-in ballots (ballots that were postmarked by Election Day and arrived at elections offices by noon today) and provisional ballots are now being tallied.

Race to watch is #HD34: City of Harrisonburg (JMU) + Rockingham County.

Despite Virginia's #HD34 backing Trump by seven points, the Virginia Democrats have it on their target list.

Why? Well, they're hoping for strong youth turnout in Harrisonburg (James Madison University!), so if they can get that, they can flip this district.

RATING: Likely R

The Virginia Democrats have plenty of targets to flip in the State House this year, but one stands out, #HD34 in Harrisonburg.

This district backed Trump by seven, but the Democrats are hoping for big youth turnout out of Harrisonburg (James Madison University) to flip it blue.

Here are the seven GOP-held VA HoD seats Trump won by 5-10 pts. If Dems win any of these tonight, *watch out* (it's tsunami territory):

#HD34 Wilt (R)
#HD40 McNamara (R)
#HD49 Marshall (R)
#HD52 Walker (R)
#HD74 Cherry (R)
#HD83 Wachsmann (R)
#HD100 Bloxom (R)

And here it is in chart form.

The floor still hasn't been hit with the Delaware Republicans. Outside of HD-09, they have two more Harris-won districts to defend in #HD22 (Harris+16) and #HD34 (Harris+4). Luckily for them, the GOP incumbents there are NOT retiring.

Centered around the college town of Muncie, Indiana's #HD34 trending to the right in the Trump era, Democratic State Representative Sue Errington has been able to keep a solid hold of it.

Last year, she won re-election by 10 points, outrunning Harris's four point win here.

#alakasky and Bluesky in general: Meet Joy Beth Cottle, the progressive candidate for HD34! voters didn’t like the back-room shenanigans that led to the incumbent’s wife ending up on the ballot. JBC is poised to take this deep-in-Trump-country seat.

btw, Ms. Evans lost today for the 2nd vice chair position and is now an HD vice-chair in her house district which is HD34, represented by Carol Spackman Moss.

Trump won HD34 by 7 points and it's got an entrenched Republican incumbent (Del. Tony Wilt), so VA House Dems - @SpeakerDonScott @HelmerVA etc. - must be feeling VERY optimistic about their/our chances! bluevirginia.us/thursday-new...

IN HD30, right-wing Kevin McCabe once again defeated even-more-right wing Doyle Holmes.

HD34 was the only exception to the trend in the House: Incumbent Frank Tomaszewski soundly defeated moderate Republican Joy Beth Cottle.

We weren’t going to recruit very hard for HD32 or senate district Q but now maybe we should
HD34 also has a great value aligned independent - I’m hopeful

HD34 in Corpus Christi is a huge question mark. Dems lost it in an upset in 2024, when the incumbent retired and they nominated a former state rep. That candidate managed to underperform *Harris* by double digits, losing by 12 pts as she lost it by 2%. Allred carried it easily.
