A woman who once lost her job for making an obscene gesture at President Donald Trump's motorcade will now hold a local government seat in northern Virginia.

Juli Briskman, whose infamous middle finger salute to the commander in chief cost her a communications job at federal contractor Akima, was elected to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in Tuesday night's Democratic off-year election takeover.

“He was passing by and my blood just started to boil,” Briskman told HuffPost about her gesture in 2017. “I’m thinking, DACA recipients are getting kicked out. He pulled ads for open enrollment in Obamacare. Only one-third of Puerto Rico has power. I’m thinking, he’s at the damn golf course again.”

On Tuesday night, Briskman claimed victory in her bid for the county's Algonkian District seat and said that she was looking forward "to representing my friends & neighbors" in a social media post.

Briskman is just one of many Democrats who was propelled to victory in the Old Dominion's Tuesday night elections. Indeed, it seems that this year's controversy surrounding Gov. Ralph Northam's comments on infanticide, his blackface scandal, and the threat of new gun control weren't enough to help Republicans hold onto their razor-thin electoral majority.

The following is an excerpt from Blaze Media’s Capitol Hill Brief email newsletter:

In Kentucky’s closely watched gubernatorial race last night, Democrat Andy Beshear declared victory with a razor-thin .4 percent margin, while incumbent Republican Matt Bevin hasn’t conceded yet.

Given how vocal Bevin was about impeachment attempts against the president and the fact that President Trump went to bat for Bevin at a Monday night rally, there was a lot of buzz about how Bevin’s race could serve as a bellwether for Trump’s chances in 2020. However, Republicans won in all the other partisan races for statewide office, so it appears that the results were more of a referendum on Bevin and his nationally ranked unpopularity among his constituents. One of those winners, by the way, is the commonwealth’s first African-American elected to statewide office and its first Republican attorney general since the 1940s.

And while some reports might bill the outcome as an embarrassment for the president, Trump World doesn’t see it that way.

“I’m not worried about that as a race,” Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News. “Like I said, I think he has done a good job, but Matt Bevin has picked some fights. Again, this has nothing to do with Trump.”

"The President just about dragged Gov. Matt Bevin across the finish line, helping him run stronger than expected in what turned into a very close race at the end,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said. “A final outcome remains to be seen."
