McCarthy also suggested Youngkin\u2019s victory is a sign Republicans could flip more than 60 Democrat held seats in the lower chamber in the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) called the results of Virginia\u2019s governor\u2019s race \u201cencouraging\u201d and called out congressional Democrats for supporting \u201cbig government socialism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was so encouraging to see people take their government back,\u201d said Scalise. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what you saw last night, and yet here in Washington the same big government socialists who were rejected in states like Virginia, are doubling down on their failed policies. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi did not get the message from what happened last night. Now, maybe more of their members will look in the mirror and say I don\u2019t want to be the next Terry McAuliffe, but if they keep voting for big government socialism, they\u2019re gonna go the same way as Terry McAuliffe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louisiana Congresswoman Julia Letlow (R) then touched on the importance of education and putting students first. GOP lawmakers closed the conference by saying Youngkin\u2019s win is indicative of the issues that matter most to the American people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Today is a wake-up call for Washington Democrats.
