77% Informative

Virginia is one of two states that holds races for governor the year after a presidential election.

The state is home to more than 340,000 federal workers, according to census data.

The governor's race will test whether the slashing approach is a political loser, winner or nonissue.

Republican strategists say it's too early to fully understand the impact the cuts could have in the race.

Democrats plan to use the layoffs as part of a broader case against Republicans , arguing that they are prioritizing loyalty to Trump over the state’s best interests.

Some Virginia voters say the cuts will factor into their vote later this year .

“He’s been a better governor than I was afraid that he was going to be when he was running,” Boyd said.

“I’ve not ruled out” voting for Earle-Sears .

Other voters were supportive of the DOGE cuts.
