LinkedIn — This analysis uses historical modelling to predict the winners of the 2025 elections in Virginia. With an ever-growing lead, Spanberger maintains the necessary dominance in key Eastern and Tidewater regions to become the next governor, and while it will be a nail-biter, Attorney General Jason Miyares is putting up historically good numbers with Black voters, a swing demographic for the Attorney General’s race in Virginia, and will likely return as attorney general for another term.

The Outspoken — Donald Trump’s shocking 2024 election victory was largely attributed to one factor: voters’ feelings about the economy. Unsatisfied with the way the Biden administration had handled their money, and encouraged by Trump’s “America First” agenda, swing voters overwhelmingly reported in exit polls that they had voted for Trump with the economy at the top of their mind. Trump has long prided himself on being a businessman and being able to cut a deal with anyone. Famously, he has used this same logic in wars with Ukraine and Russia with limited success, but has proclaimed otherwise anyway. His favorite line throughout the campaign was pointing to the Biden economy inflation numbers and rambling on about the way the Biden-Harris Administration had failed the people.

The Argonaut — In the United States right now, the first Gen Zers are filling seats in Congress, and in a hyperpolarized political environment, youth activists are engaging in current events in a way they never have before.
