🚨 RATINGS CHANGE: Cook Political Report Shifts VA-02 to “TOSS-UP”

Non-partisan race rater: “Kiggans is the incumbent hampered by an unpopular president… [she] will have her toughest race yet next year”

Cook Political Report just shifted Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District toward Democrats’ direction in just the latest sign that Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggans is more vulnerable than ever.
Cook writes in part:

“Kiggans is the incumbent hampered by an unpopular president — whose handling of federal workforce cuts have had a disproportionate effect on this military-heavy district.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger carried the 2nd by nearly eight points, according to the Virginia Public Access Project — the strongest performance from a Democrat in the district since 2013, when Ralph Northam carried it by eight points in his lieutenant governor bid […]

At this point, it’s clear that Kiggans will have her toughest race yet next year.”

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Congresswoman Jen Kiggans has voted in lockstep with her D.C. party bosses instead of providing the independent leadership that Virginians deserve. Her 100% voting record with Trump and her failure to do anything about the rising cost of living in Virginia are major reasons why she will lose next November.”
