VA election results: [View all]

Interesting race: US House District 10

Incumbent Trump supporter: Barbara Comstock won the repub primary with 60.7% of the vote. Repubs in total got 46,584 votes (about 99% counted). Comstock, if you can believe the Puke Logic of her ads is for Trump because he's so good for working women.

Democratic Jennifer Wexton won the Democratic primary with 41.8% of the votes in a 6 person primary. Overall the Democrats had 53,842 votes.

Comstock is going down!

My rep Gerry Connolly was unopposed, as was Sen Tim Kaine.

Tim Kaine's opponent will be Corey Stewart, a white supremacist. muntrv Jun 2018 #5

He only beat a mainstream repub by a few points. n/t FSogol Jun 2018 #6

Although VA Republicans are distancing themselves from Stewart... Garrett78 Jun 2018 #16

In my mostly blue area (Burke in Fairfax County), I saw 2 Freitas signs and zero Stewart ones FSogol Jun 2018 #18

& RNC will not comment on whether they will support Stewart. Qutzupalotl Jun 2018 #7

No doubt. They can pretend all they want, but Stewart is a mainstream Republican. Garrett78 Jun 2018 #17

They are afraid of Trump, so they let him run wild. Qutzupalotl Jun 2018 #22

They're afraid of alienating the base, perhaps. Garrett78 Jun 2018 #23

Some prominent Republicans have disavowed him and are already conceding defeat IronLionZion Jun 2018 #9
