The 2023 Virginia Senate election was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, concurrently with elections for the Virginia House of Delegates, to elect senators to all 40 seats in the Senate of Virginia for the 163rd and 164th Virginia Assembly. Nomination primaries held through the Department of Elections were held June 20, 2023.[3] These were the first elections held following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census.[4] The Democrats retained control of the Senate.[5]

Background

[edit]

Following the 2019 election, the Democratic Party gained 2 seats in the Senate, and gained control of both chambers of the General Assembly, marking the first time that Democrats held a government trifecta in Virginia since 1993.[6] This was short-lived, however, as Republicans regained the governorship and the House of Delegates in the 2021 elections.

This Senate election as well as those for the House of Delegates were held following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, which ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right in the United States. This has led to disappointing election results for the national Republican Party, such as their surprise underperformance in last year's midterm elections and this year's off-year elections, losing or underperforming in many elections and losing state referendums on abortion rights by landslide margins.[7][8]

Governor Youngkin attempted to sell to the people of Virginia a 15-week "limit" on abortion instead of using the word "ban", fearing such a word to be alienating to swing voters. Youngkin wanted a Republican trifecta to enact a conservative agenda as well,[9] but Democrats were able to out message Youngkin and convince Virginians that his abortion "limit" was a ban.

The Democrats retained their majority in the Senate, dashing Youngkin's hopes of a GOP trifecta even if Republicans retained the House of Delegates, which was also won by Democrats simultaneously, re-establishing full control of the Virginia General Assembly that was lost by Democrats in 2021. After the election, Glenn Youngkin said he would not be a candidate for President of the United States in the presidential election.[10]
