I believe that if the federal government is downsized, Virginia will go back to being Red.
If Northern Virginia were nuked (a good thing), Virginia would go back to being Red.
I say this as a native Virginian who spent time living in Northern Virginia.
Somebody had better come up with a plan for downsizing the Federal Government. From what I’ve been able to learn it is actually IMPOSSIBLE to fire a Federal Employee the way the rules stand now.
