Honestly I think it will make things worse. Virginia isn't just another State in the Union. It’s the capital State. The vast bulk of federal power that is not in DC is in Virginia, to include the department of defense, the Marine Corps HQ, the Armies National Capital Area Command, the CIA, and on and on, including all the workers and officials who work in DC. Very little is actually in Maryland because Maryland sucks. It’s been run by Democrats and the Baltimore machine for a century and has all the attending problems such long term democratic party control has on a State that Illinois deals with. Nobody wants to live or work there, not even federal agencies or their rank and file workers.
The vast bulk of Federal power on the east coast is in Virginia, and Virginia itself is demographically split between the immediate DC Metro area and everywhere else. If Spanberger wins, this is going to bring California and Illinois style democratic party politics right to the doorstep of the Federal Government. Sparks are going to fly, and if Spanberger thinks she can try and run the state like Newsome or Pritzker to try and own the orange man, violence is going to happen. Its also going to happen in a place the Federal Government absolutely cannot ignore.
