Virginia Democrats pick nominees in 2 US House seats they hope to flip in midterms
Primary voters will choose nominees in competitive House races, with Democrats contesting five districts and Republicans three as the winners move to November.
- On Tuesday, Virginia voters head to the polls for congressional primaries in the 8th, 9th, and 10th districts, concluding a primary season delayed from June to August.
- The commonwealth moved its primaries to August to accommodate a redistricting initiative that the state Supreme Court later struck down, forcing candidates to campaign in uncertain districts.
- Voters in the 8th and 9th districts are choosing Democratic nominees, while Republicans in the 10th District select their nominee to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam.
- Winning candidates advance to the November 3 general election, where Virginia Democrats hope to flip at least two seats to help regain control of the House.
- Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger remains optimistic about flipping seats and recently restored voting rights to more than 66,000 residents who completed felony sentences since taking office in January.
