‘We fought this effort with money’: Mike Johnson can’t hide how much he despises Democrats for winning Virginia

Mike Johnson just let his frustration boil over after Democrats pulled off a win in Virginia, and his latest post on X makes it clear he’s not taking the loss quietly. In a fiery statement, the House Speaker accused Democrats of breaking the law, waging “warfare,” and disenfranchising voters to push their agenda. He outright said Democrats only won because they “rigged the ballot question,” framing the victory as some kind of underhanded scheme.

The numbers tell a different story. According to The Daily Beast, Virginia voters approved the redistricting measure with 51.5% support, while 48.5% opposed it. That’s a narrow margin, sure, but it’s still a win, and one that could hand Democrats a four-seat advantage in the House, flipping the current 6-5 split.
