What Went Down In The June 21 Elections In Alabama, Virginia And Georgia
Jacob, you are surprised by Trump contradicting himself?
We now have 64 percent of the expected vote in Virginia’s 7th District, and Anderson has a very slight lead, with 25 percent. Vega is just behind, with 24 percent, but they’re very close together — only about 250 votes apart. Reeves is still in third.

As noted, ABC News projects that Rich McCormick will win the GOP nomination for Georgia’s 6th District and, in turn, defeat Trump-endorsed Jake Evans. It’s worth noting, though, that McCormick is still a staunch conservative who echoes many of Trump’s beliefs and stances. And as Nathaniel said, it’s likely that this district, which is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Lucy McBath, will flip this November (thanks to largely redistricting).
