House Republicans eye prime opportunity in Virginia after Democrat announces run for governor
Fox News
House Republicans' chances of keeping their majority got slightly easier on Monday when a vulnerable Democrat announced she would not be seeking re-election.
"Nothing is going right for Democrats in Virginia’s Seventh District, but the NRCC is all hands on deck to flip this now-open seat and grow the House Republican majority," the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the House GOP’s campaign arm, said minutes after Spanberger’s announcement.
