Taylor and Luria were backed by the House Democrats’ campaign arm and a wide array of Democratic leaders, including Gov. But in Virginia, Democratic primary voters have a history of rewarding moderate candidates, a trend that continued with the wins by Luria and Taylor on Tuesday. Virginia Democrats hope they can flip at least two seats after their aggressive, voter-approved redistricting plan was overturned by the state Supreme Court earlier this year. The coastal 2nd District, with its population center in Virginia Beach, is a must-win for Democrats aiming to retake the House. Taylor won a crowded primary contest, even as many Democratic voters backed a more progressive candidate, Salaam Bhatti.
