Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday in 3 special elections for the legislature that will serve as barometers of political power for parties.

By Reid J. Epstein

Washington reports

The first special elections since the president chose Donald J. Trump won a time when Tuesday arrives in Virginia, where the electorate of 3 races will be the majority of the state legislature.

At first glance, the competitions have a small mystery: the Democrats have significant in the state district of the Chamber and one of the two state districts of the Senate that are at stake, while the other upper space district is convenient.

But even if there are no upheavals, the margins of race will provide the first clues to voters’ attitudes, while Trump is preparing to take over the workplace for a moment. The two seats where Democrats are favored are in Loudoun County, a Washington suburb that moved heavily toward the party during Trump’s first presidency before returning to the former president in November.

Democrats, who hold one-seat majorities in both Virginia chambers, have raised and spent considerably more to defend the two Loudoun seats than Republicans have in challenging them. Democratic candidates have traditionally won both districts easily, but some in the party had worried that a post-election malaise could jeopardize one or both of the seats.

A seat for Soudoun is in the Senate, the other in the camera. The Senate seat has been vacant when its Subramanyam, the Democrat who held it, chosen for Congress in November.

Then Kannan Srinivasan, a state house delegate, won the Democratic nomination to upgrade Mr. Subramanyam and resigned from his seat. This caused a special choice for Mr. Srinivasan’s siege of the house. Democrats have appointed J. J. Singh, an ancient Capitol Hill who would be maximum maximum likely the first Sikh in Turan elected to a state legislature in the United States.
