What Went Down In The June 21 Elections In Alabama, Virginia And Georgia
Yep, the Prince William County hammer is coming down for Vega in Virginia’s 7th District, with about 80 percent of the overall expected vote in. About 20 percent of the county is reporting now, and Vega has now taken the lead with 26 percent, thanks to winning half the vote in PWC. Little reason to think that trend won’t continue, which should give her a straightforward path to victory.

In Georgia’s 2nd District, we saw some major outside money come in for Hunt in the closing weeks of the runoff, perhaps a sign that his position was not as strong as initially thought, and a precursor to his struggles tonight. The Ken Griffin-funded American Patriots PAC poured in $300,000, and a Super PAC called American Values First, which is funded primarily by a GOP 501(c)4 “dark money” group called Prosperity Alliance, chipped in another $280,000.
The Associated Press has called the Democratic primary for Washington, D.C., mayor for incumbent Muriel Bowser. She faced challenges from two sitting councilmen, Robert White and Trayon White, but she’s looking strong in the early returns and will be a lock for a third term in the fall.
