Chuck Darwin on Nostr: Democrat Eugene Vindman won Virginia’s most competitive congressional race ...
Democrat Eugene Vindman won Virginia’s most competitive congressional race Wednesday, defeating his opponent in a blow to the GOP’s hopes of flipping the open House seat.
In Virginia’s 7th District, Vindman defeated Republican Derrick Anderson by a close margin after conservatives targeted the House seat.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, the district’s three-term incumbent, decided to run for governor in 2025 — presenting an opening in the battleground district.
“With the support of our grassroots army, we accomplished something together that many didn’t think was possible,” Vindman said in a statement.
“It’s a testament to the power of the American experience, that an immigrant who escaped a Soviet Regime and came to this great nation with less than $800 in our pockets, would now stand here as a Congressman-elect of the United States House of Representatives.”
