Summary
Virginia Democrats just pulled off a messy but necessary budget compromise after a heated fight over taxing data centers—ending with a tweaked energy fee instead of either side’s preferred tax. The drama included snarky nicknames and accusations of civil war, but voters got wins they care about: bigger tax breaks, healthcare and childcare aid, and pay raises. Behind the scenes, tensions simmer—but party leaders know they’ll need to sell this as unity, not division, ahead of the next election.
