Democrat Eugene Vindman has narrowly won Virginia's 7th Congressional District, defeating Republican Derrick Anderson by securing 51.1% of the vote. Vindman, known for his role in the impeachment of Donald Trump, focused on issues like abortion rights and threats to democracy from MAGA extremism. This victory maintains the district in Democratic hands after Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who is pursuing a gubernatorial bid, decided not to seek reelection. The race was intensely competitive, with Republicans aiming to flip the district to strengthen their House majority. While Vindman’s campaign was marked by his anti-Trump stance and personal story as an immigrant, Anderson emphasized economic issues. Despite the win, the Republican Party remains poised to retain control of the House.
