Democrats Hope Musk Backlash Helps Them Win in Virginia
Democrats are hoping backlash to tech CEO Elon Musk and his policies will make them victorious in the Virginia House of Delegates races.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) announced a seven-figure investment in the races with plans to use the same anti-Musk playbook the party used to win a Wisconsin State Supreme Court race, Politico said.
Musk spent tens of millions and campaigned in-person in Wisconsin to boost the conservative candidate, only to lose by 10 points.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), overseen by Musk, has led to thousands of federal employees being laid off, many of whom live in Virginia.
