Выборы в Сенат Вирджинии 2023 года состоялись во вторник, 7 ноября 2023 года, одновременно с выборами в Палату делегатов Вирджинии , чтобы избрать сенаторов на все 40 мест в Сенате Вирджинии на 163-ю и 164-ю Ассамблею Вирджинии. Праймериз по выдвижению кандидатур, проведенные Департаментом выборов, состоялись 20 июня 2023 года. [ 3] Это были первые выборы, проведенные после перераспределения округов в результате переписи 2020 года . [4] Демократы сохранили контроль над Сенатом. [5]
Губернатор Янгкин попытался продать жителям Вирджинии 15-недельный «лимит» на аборты вместо использования слова «запрет», опасаясь, что такое слово оттолкнет колеблющихся избирателей. Янгкин хотел, чтобы республиканская тройка также приняла консервативную повестку дня, [9] но демократы смогли переубедить Янгкина и убедить жителей Вирджинии, что его «лимит» на аборты был запретом.
Демократы сохранили большинство в Сенате, разбив надежды Янгкина на тройной перевес Республиканской партии, даже если республиканцы сохранят Палату делегатов, которую одновременно выиграли демократы, восстановив полный контроль над Генеральной ассамблеей Вирджинии , который демократы потеряли в 2021 году. После выборов Гленн Янгкин заявил, что не будет баллотироваться на пост президента Соединенных Штатов на президентских выборах . [10]
