Virginia 2nd District
The closest rating in Virginia: held by Republicans (Kiggans). Cook Political Report ratings, entered by the lab. Two other races are rated toss-up or lean.
Statewide races
A Senate race is on the 2026 ballot. Once a primary is called, only the candidates recorded as advancing are listed; before that, everyone running.
Each race links to its own page: the candidates, what they say and the money they report. Cook Political Report ratings, entered by the lab (last updated by the lab on Jun 24, 2026); a forecaster’s judgement about the general election, not the lab’s.

What the candidates say
19 of Virginia’s 20 candidates have 10 or more classified statements. 19 have 50 or more and are ranked against candidates nationwide.
An AI model reads each statement and marks the kinds of statement it contains; a candidate’s rate is the share of their statements with that label. Incumbent members of Congress are measured on everything they publish in office, everyone else on posts on X. A rate describes what was said, not whether it was right.
