By the Ballot PodcastThe Costs of Being in the MajorityIn this episode, Matt breaks down why Virginia Democrats swept the 2025 elections — and why winning was the easy part. Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger and Democrats up and down the ballot focused relentlessly on affordability, housing, healthcare, and working-class economics. Voters rewarded that clarity, rejecting culture-war politics and the chaos of Trump-era cuts that hurt federal workers, contractors, and families across the Commonwealth.But just days after the election, Senate Democrats — including Tim Kaine — struck a deal to end the shutdown without securing ACA subsidies, leaving millions at risk of higher premiums. That cave-in makes one thing clear: the real f...
