Five Democrats will compete in a firehouse primary Saturday for a Loudoun County state House seat, which Del. Kannan Srinivasan (D) is vacating after winning his party’s nomination last week for an open state Senate seat.

Former President Donald Trump’s return to the White House following the Nov. 5 election is already sending ripples through Virginia politics and setting the stage for an intense 2025 election cycle in the commonwealth.

Feggans, a Democrat, will face former Del. Tim Anderson, a Republican, who decided to run in an effort to flip the Democratic-controlled majority in the House.

What's next for Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, who says that former President Trump's decisive election victory earlier this month means he now has "a friend in the White House."

Low-turnout special elections can be unpredictable. Just last year, Democrats were able to flip a red seat blue in Hampton Roads. Now, Republicans are hoping they'll be able to pull off a similar upset victory in Northern Virginia.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin backed Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears for governor ahead of the 2025 gubernatorial contest.

The state will also soon hold an election for the seat being vacated by state Sen. John J. McGuire III, though no date is set.

Democratic lawmakers who wield control of the Virginia Legislature are hoping to make good on promises made on the campaign trail.

The online panel was hosted by the Virginia Public Access Project and the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University.

The overall 2024 turnout rate was just over 69%, the lowest for a presidential election since 2000, according to ELECT. That year George W. Bush and Al Gore were on the ballot.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican who has embraced prosecutions against election fraud and other conservative causes, said Monday that he will seek reelection next year, dispelling speculation of a potential gubernatorial bid.

By running for reelection, Miyares avoids a potentially expensive and bruising gubernatorial primary with a fellow Republican, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears.
