The breaking news this morning is that State Sen. Dick Black (R-SD13), arguably the craziest, most extreme member of the Virginia General Assembly, is retiring. Note that this is a district Tim Kaine won by 19 points over Corey Stewart in 2018, that Ralph Northam won by 11 points over Ed Gillespie in 2017, and that Hillary Clinton won by 6 points over Donald Trump in 2016. Dems’ candidates for this seat are Del. John Bell, Jasmine Moawad-Barrientos and Lucero Wiley. We’ll see who Republicans come up with to replace Black, and whether all this makes it harder or easier for Dems to win in November. What do you think? Vote below!
