Summary

Amanda Litman is back with Sami and Amanda to break down the elections you need to watch this week, from coroners (who can literally decide who died of COVID) to 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates. They explain what Tuesday’s results can and can’t tell us about Democrats’ 2022 chances, what actually matters and what’s meaningless, and warn against creating a defeatist self-fulfilling prophecy.
