There were no surprises in Virginia’s three special elections this week, but that won't stop political observers from looking for clues about voter sentiment in the first official election since President Donald Trump's sweeping victories in November.

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,

Voters in northern and central Virginia will vote in special elections to fill two vacancies in the state senate and an open seat in the House of Delegates.

Three special elections in Virginia will determine which party holds control of the State Senate and House of Delegates. Democrats are favored in two of the districts, both in Loudoun County, a Washington suburb. Republicans are favored to hold a rural State Senate seat west of Richmond.

Two months after Democrats were locked out of power at the federal level, a pair of special elections in a part of northern Virginia where Donald Trump dramatically improved his performance in November will offer the first signs of how voters view the political landscape as the president-elect prepares to return to office.

The party held onto two key seats in Loudoun County that will allow them to maintain control of the state’s legislature.

Democrats held on to the Loudoun House and Senate seats, while Republicans retained a Senate post in central Virginia, according to the Associated Press.

Lost in the shuffle of the political discourse surrounding the first days of the 119th Congress, vote for House speaker, and President-elect Donald Trump touting the idea of purchasing Greenland, a special election was held in Virginia on Tuesday for three seats in the state legislature.
