TL;DR

Virginia’s Democratic-led General Assembly largely rejected Governor Spanberger’s amendments to major bills during a reconvened session, accepting only a few energy-related changes while nixing most modifications on issues like the prescription-drug affordability board, the assault-weapons ban, the retail cannabis market, and public-sector collective bargaining. The move sets up a high-stakes veto-or-sign decision for Spanberger, with the cannabis market potentially taking effect in 2027 if she declines to veto, highlighting tensions within the new Democratic trifecta.
