VP Harris has about a 10-point lead in VA

heard on the car radio (Bloomberg or WTOP)—no link. They also said “reminder—polls capture a point in time but cannot predict the future.” That is the first time I’ve ever heard that caveat added.

On edit: they may have been referring to this WaPo poll, which reports an 8 point lead among likely voters:

Biden won by Virginia by a tad over 10% in 2020. Won by 450,000 votes. Hard to imagine Trump overcoming that margin.

Sad to be losing Abigail Spanberger as our representative, but hope she becomes our next Governor.

We need to elect Eugene Vindman to retain this seat and as an additional stick in the eye to the Convicted Felon and MAGAts. Vindman's campaign has an excellent ground game here and I'm optimistic going into early voting.

Heard on Keith Olbermann's podcast last week that Sen Kaine has ~12-14 point lead (depending on what poll you look at) on his opponent, Hung Cao, who hands out challenge coins at his rallies featuring the cheeky political message: “I Want My Senator to Be Hung.”
