Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.) was projected to win her reelection bid on Wednesday, fending off former GOP Rep. Scott Taylor to represent Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.
The Associated Press called the race at 11:19 a.m.
Luria was first elected in 2018, beating Taylor by 2 points and flipping the seat he won in 2016. President Trump won the district, which includes Virginia Beach and the Norfolk area, by 3 percentage points in 2016.
She is a former Navy officer and serves on the House Armed Services and House Veterans’ Affairs Committee.
