Polls Open in Virginia for Key 2025 Democratic Primaries

News summary

Virginia held its primary elections to determine the Democratic nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general ahead of the November general election. For attorney general, two Democrats, Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor and former delegate Jay Jones, are competing to face the incumbent Republican Jason S. Miyares, who is running unopposed. The lieutenant governor race features six Democrats vying to challenge Republican nominee John Reid, who secured the nomination after his opponent withdrew due to health reasons. Voter turnout and enthusiasm were evident at polling locations such as the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, where voters emphasized the importance of integrity and crime-related decision-making in these roles. The lieutenant governor position, while largely ceremonial, plays a crucial role in breaking Senate ties and is often a stepping stone to the governor's office, adding significance to the race. Virginia's open primary system allows all registered voters to participate regardless of party affiliation, contributing to diverse participation across the state.
