🚨 RATINGS CHANGE: Inside Elections Shifts VA-01 in Democrats’ Direction

Non-partisan race rater: “Democrats are high on this district especially after Abigail Spanberger carried it by 2 points in November’s gubernatorial election”
Non-partisan race rater Inside Elections just shifted Virginia’s 1st Congressional District toward Democrats’ direction in just the latest sign that Republican Congressman Rob Wittman is more vulnerable than ever.

Inside Elections writes in part that “Democrats are high on this district especially after Abigail Spanberger carried it by 2 points in November’s gubernatorial election.”

The rating shift comes directly after Cook Political Report also moved VA-01 in Democrats’ direction on the heels of Governor-elect Spanberger winning within the boundaries of the district.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“After nearly two decades in Congress, career politician Rob Wittman has come to represent everything that’s wrong with a broken and corrupt Washington. Wittman has gotten richer while Virginia families are paying more on everything from groceries to electricity to health care. Wittman is officially facing the race of his career, and it’s one he is simply not ready for. When Virginia voters learn more about Wittman they will vote to retire him.”
