I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, but one thing I noticed is how well we held up in the Richmond area of Virginia, where I live. In terms of vote share, Harris only underperformed Biden '20 by 0.3% in Henrico County and by 1.3% in the City of Richmond. She actually outperformed in Chesterfield County by 1.1% in terms of vote share. This year was actually the first time in modern history that Chesterfield County has voted more Democratic than Virginia as a whole.

When VPAP and/or DRA update their district data with the 2024 results, I'll be curious to see the numbers in HD-57, HD-73, HD-75, HD-82, and SD-12. These are all Republican-held state legislative districts in the Richmond area that are potentially winnable later this decade. Of these districts, I'd say HD-57 and HD-82 are not only the most winnable but will also be our best pickup opportunities in the entire state in 2025.

I noticed that too. Chesterfield County was one of the MVPs of the 2024 cycle.
