The decennial redistricting process could alter the calculation, but as it stands Democratic Reps. Elaine Luria, Abigail Spanberger, and Jennifer Wexton, representing the state’s 2nd, 7th, and 10th congressional districts, respectively, are in tough races and the drubbing Democrats took in the state last week only highlighted the difficult road ahead.
Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R ) made gains in all three districts as he cruised to victory over former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), winning Luria’s district by roughly 8 points and Spanburger’s district by 15 points. Spanberger won by just shy of 2 points in 2020 while Luria carried her district by about 5.5 points…
While McAuliffe won Wexton’s district, which is located in reliably blue Northern Virginia, the NRCC announced less than 24 hours after Youngkin’s win that Wexton would be added to its offensive target list. Youngkin’s campaign had its sights set on Loudoun County, which is a part of Wexton’s district, as the county became the country’s epicenter for the battle between parents and school boards.
