Key Updates in Virginia, Georgia, and Oklahoma Primaries

The Republican primary race for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District remains too close to call, with Bob Good and John McGuire separated by less than a point, potentially leading to a recount. McGuire, endorsed by former President Trump and supported by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, is challenging incumbent Good, who alienated key GOP figures by backing Ron DeSantis over Trump and voting to oust McCarthy. Eugene Vindman won the Democratic primary for Virginia’s 7th District, a seat now open due to Abigail Spanberger running for governor. In Georgia, several Republican runoff elections were held, with notable wins including J. Gregory Howard for State Senate District 7 and Justin Staten for Echols County Commission District 2, Post 1. Additionally, in local Virginia elections, candidates for open seats in the 7th and 10th Districts were decided, with Democrats Eugene Vindman and Suhas Subramanyam winning their respective primaries. These primaries are pivotal as they could shape the political landscape ahead of the general elections in November.
