What Went Down In The June 21 Elections In Alabama, Virginia And Georgia

I’m covering Virginia’s 7th Congressional District this evening, and with six candidates, it’s a crowded field. Vega, who’s leading by just a hair, with 41 percent of the expected vote reporting, got a big endorsement from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz recently. He was speaking at a rally for her just last night. Reeves, meanwhile, is a state senator with a lot of name recognition in the area, while Anderson is running as an outsider, a former Green Beret who’s never held political office before. Meanwhile, other candidates have been trying to lean into the playbook that worked for Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin last November, like Vanuch, who’s put hundreds of thousands of dollars of her own money into the race and has been talking a lot about critical race theory.
