Here\u2019s a look at what&#8217;s at stake in states and races around the country this year and what the outcomes in these states could mean for the presidential election and others this time next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/virginias-elections-key-2024-barometer-huge-test-rising-gop-star-glenn-youngkin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin\u2019s Virginia<\/a> is ground-zero of the 2023 elections. Going into Election Day, Democrats control the Senate 22-4, and Republicans hold the State House, 48-46 (with six vacancies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Youngkin won election two years ago largely by keeping the race local (i.e. parental rights in school, grocery store bills) and dodging national issues (i.e. former President Donald Trump), but has overseen divided government his whole tenure, hamstringing his most ambitious policy goals. His 2021 victory caught the attention of Republican mega-donors, who are long weary of the former president\u2019s hold on the Grand Old Party, but &#8220;The Virginia Model&#8221; \u2013and Youngkin\u2019s political future\u2013will be put to the test Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats across the country have worked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/judiciary\/abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make abortion the top issue<\/a> on ballots, and Virginia is no different. Youngkin has proposed a moderate 15-week ban (putting his state behind Germany and Italy\u2019s 12-week bans, for example, and France and Spain\u2019s 14-week bans), but needs Republicans to hold the House and take the Senate to achieve it. Understanding the stakes, he\u2019s tried to shift Republicans toward early voting, and poured millions of his national fundraising into the races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Christopher Bedford is the executive editor at Common Sense Society.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue reading this article in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/greatest-danger-facing-israel-not-what-think\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/election-day-2023-watch-races-get-preview-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s take a deep dive into key races and issues in Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio.
