Exclusive: Three Vulnerable Virginia Democrats Brace for Tough November

Three vulnerable Virginia Democrat incumbents are gearing up for likely difficult general election battles in November as they raise millions before their Republican opponents have been decided.
Democrat Reps. Elaine Luria, Abigail Spanberger, and Jennifer Wexton have all raised big campaign war chests to prepare for the November general election.
All three congresswomen are top targets for Republicans, who are hoping to ride the wave created by newly minted Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) — the first Republican elected statewide since 2009.
As Breitbart News reported, both Spanberger’s and Luria’s districts — as they exist until 2023 — were won by Youngkin by significant margins, while Wexton’s moved ten points in Youngkin’s direction. All three districts also saw the most significant geographical changes from Virginia’s redistricting commission.
The University of Virginia Center for Politics and Cook Political Report, which rate congressional races across the county, both consider Luria’s district to be a “toss-up,” suggesting a tight re-election bid for the congresswoman.
In addition, if Youngkin’s election is considered by the redrawn congressional districts — for which Second District candidates are running to represent — he still won Luria’s district by 11 points, according to an analysis by the Virginia Public Access Project.
“The Second District got more Republican with redistricting,” Second District Republican Party Chairman Dennis Free told Breitbart News, calling it the “most Republican” of the three competitive races in Virginia this cycle. He also said it is “very possible” to flip all three seats.
Luria has raised a formidable amount of money, however. In the first quarter of 2022, Luria raised $1.2 million for a total of $4 million so far this cycle. She has more than $3.1 million cash on hand, according to her recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing — something Free said is expected.
“Our candidate will be facing an incumbent who has lots of money, and [Nancy] Pelosi will make sure she gets even more. The Democrats always have more money than us,” Free said. “They are the party of the rich elites.”
Free is very confident the Republicans can flip the district in November, calling it an “excellent prospect” and saying the party there will be “up to the task.”
Oh yah baby, Democrats are toast. Biden is toast. The Democrats have gone too far in their extremism and the sleepimng giatn has awoken.
