Virginia Democrats will hold on to their narrow majorities in the state Legislature after winning special elections Tuesday in two seats in a county that shifted toward President-elect Donald Trump last year,

Democrat JJ Singh defeated Republican Ram Venkatachalam in the House’s 26th District election. With over 95% of the vote counted, Singh led Venkatachalam 61.6% to 38.4%, according to the New York Times. Singh’s victory ensured the party would control the state House, giving the Democrats a slim lead over the GOP, 51-49.

Democrats won a pair of special legislative elections in Virginia Tuesday, allowing the party to maintain their narrow majorities in both chambers.

Virginia Democrats preserved their Statehouse majority on Tuesday in the first test of voters’ energy since President-elect Donald Trump’s win in November, which left many party members across the country reckoning with their losses in federal elections.

Virginia Democrats maintained control of the Statehouse on Tuesday after winning two critical special elections in Loudoun County, solidifying their majority in the state Senate and the House of Delegates.

The Virginia elections, which are being closely watched by outside observers, will decide whether Democrats or Republicans have control of the Statehouse in Republican Glenn Youngkin's final year as governor.
