House Election
State significance
Virginia's 11 congressional seats could affect which party controls the House. Four solidly Republican and four solidly Democratic districts are expected to elect representatives from those respective parties. Based on recent polling, two other seats could likely go to Democrats, while a tight race for Virginia's 2nd Congressional District seat could go to either party.
The race for Virginia's 2nd District seat is a toss up between Republican candidate Jen Kiggans and Democratic incumbent Rep. Elaine Luria, according to FiveThirtyEight. In 2018, Luria, a Navy veteran, flipped the congressional seat long held by a Republican, but redistricting based on the 2020 census has made Luria's area less Democratic-leaning.
In a debate the two candidates clashed over federal spending, the economy and abortion restrictions. Luria, who served on the House Jan. 6 committee, accused Kiggans of being an election denier, criticizing her for repeatedly refusing to plainly say that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
The state's 7th District, which leans Democratic, is expected to reelect incumbent Rep. Abigail Spanberger and the 10th District will likely reelect Democratic incumbent Rep. Jennifer Wexton.
Virginia voted to elect Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Counties are colored red or blue when the percent of expected vote reporting reaches a set threshold. This threshold varies by state and is based on patterns of past vote reporting and expectations about how the vote will report this year.
