<p>Democrats stubbornly insisted that a crushing defeat in the Virginia governor&#8217;s race and as yet still undecided gubernatorial outcome in New Jersey had not altered their plans to push through President Joe Biden&#8217;s massive social spending bill. ;</p>



<p>The somewhat delusional Dems also refused to accept that Biden&#8217;s failures, his dropping poll numbers, and in-fighting among Democrats that has stalled Biden&#8217;s agenda – had anything to do with handing the Governor&#8217;s office to Youngkin.</p>



<p>Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin stunned former Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe in Virginia by flipping the solidly blue state red.</p>



<p>As she entered the Capitol on Wednesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was asked if the election results had changed the way Democrats planned to proceed with Biden’s progressive agenda. ;</p>



<p>&#8220;No, no,&#8221; Pelosi said, according to a tweet from Politico&#8217;s Nicholas Wu.</p>



<p>Politico, citing a source &#8220;close to the White House,&#8221; reported that Biden&#8217;s team will argue the election results reflected voters&#8217; desires to see Congress get things done.</p>



<p>A senior Democrat official told Politico that if Tuesday&#8217;s results appeared lackluster, &#8220;it will get so much worse if we don&#8217;t pass the agenda and aren&#8217;t able to run on it.&#8221;</p>



<p>Politico reported that several other Democrats also insisted the results made it more vital that leftist legislation gets passed.</p>



<p>&#8220;We have to show we can govern,&#8221; Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif., told Politico. &#8220;The picture has been of Democrats sparring amongst ourselves. That&#8217;s probably not the best face to put out. I hope that there&#8217;s more of working toward agreement like we had today than openly sparring with each other.&#8221;</p>



<p>Peters was referring to a breakthrough in talks to lower prescription drug prices for seniors and allow negotiations in Medicare, Politico said.</p>



<p>Politico also reported that some Democrats privately blamed Biden for slowing progress on their leftist agenda by basically supporting progressives who have held up a vote on bipartisan infrastructure legislation while an agreement is sought on social spending.</p>



<p>Biden&#8217;s plummeting job-approval rating contributed to Youngkin&#8217;s victory in a state that the president won by 10 percentage points last year.</p>



<p>&#8220;Obviously, the president&#8217;s 42% ;approval rating is not helpful in a race like this,&#8221; ;Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., told Politico. ;&#8220;If it were 55 or 60 [percent], we&#8217;d be sailing.</p>



<p>&#8220;The challenge is he&#8217;s laid out a very popular agenda with the American people that has not been fully approved yet.&#8221;</p>



<p>Some Democrats also blamed the election results on certain party members ;being obsessed with former President Donald Trump.</p>



<p>&#8220;Being anti-Trump is not enough,&#8221; former Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., told Politico. &#8220;Democrats need to run on results, and this should light a fire under frontline Democrats to get Build Back Better passed.&#8221;</p>
