RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Republican Kim Taylor has narrowly defeated Democrat Kimberly Pope Adams in their race for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates following a recount. Adams conceded defeat Wednesday after a hearing in Dinwiddie County Circuit Court in which a panel of judges reviewed a handful of disputed ballots. Even with Taylor’s victory, Democrats will hold a narrow 51-49 margin when the new House of Delegates session convenes next month, ending two years of GOP control. Democrats also maintained their narrow majority in the state Senate. That means Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin will have to work with Democratic majorities to enact his legislative agenda.
