What Went Down During The 2021 Elections

So now that McAuliffe has officially conceded, I guess we can say for sure that Taylor Swift fans (“Swifties”) were not able to save the former Virginia governor. There was so much “the NASCAR dads of 2021” potential, too! 😞

Our own Geoffrey Skelley discussed this not-so-pivotal voting bloc on The Daily Show last night!

Terry McAuliffe has conceded the Virginia governor’s race:

One wildcard that could actually be helpful for Democrats next year, though, Micah — although it would hurt their agenda in other, maybe longer-lasting ways — is the Supreme Court. The justices heard oral arguments over the structure of Texas’s highly restrictive abortion law on Monday, they’re hearing their first gun rights case in over a decade this morning, and they’re going back to abortion in early December. I could definitely imagine a world where the conservative majority does some controversial and unpopular things, like limiting or overturning Roe v. Wade, and Democrats try to use that to mobilize voters.
