A pair of special elections in Virginia will determine control of the state legislature on Jan. 7 that will bring voters back to the polls just weeks after the presidential election.

Virginia will hold another closely watched race to succeed Republican Glenn Youngkin in Virginia ’s 2021 gubernatorial race just a year after Joe Biden carried the state by 10 points in 2020 .

In April , ideological control of Wisconsin Supreme Court is again at stake in a race to replace a liberal justice.

Democrats have signaled their intention to try to attach Schimel to a broader Trump -centered GOP brand.

In 2023 , Democrats were coming off a string of statewide successes in the years since Trump ’s win in the state in 2016 .

A handful of special elections in safe Republican seats in the U.S. House will also occur next year .
