Two months after Democrats were locked out of power at the federal level, a pair of special elections in a part of northern Virginia where Donald Trump dramatically improved his performance in November will offer the first signs of how voters view the political landscape as the president-elect prepares to return to office.

Democrats held on to the Loudoun House and Senate seats, while Republicans retained a Senate post in central Virginia, according to the Associated Press.

The party held onto two key seats in Loudoun County that will allow them to maintain control of the state’s legislature.
