Hotly Contested Primary Race in Virginia Continues | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A hotly contested primary race in Virginia continues on. The counting continues in the state's Fifth Congressional District which pits House Freedom Caucus Chairman against State Senator and Trump acolyte John McGuire. The 2 are separated by less than 400 votes with 96% of the count in. Elsewhere, retired Navy Captain Hung Cao won the Senate GOP primary and will take on incumbent, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine in November. President and Cofounder of Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan, joins to share what the takeaways are from last night's Virginia primary. Nikki Haley who dropped out of the race months ago still garnered 35% of the primary vote last night, Bevan tells us whether that is a concern for Trump. Biden defeated Trump in Virginia by nearly 10 points in 2020 but current 2024 polling shows a narrower gap. Bevan discusses whether the Commonwealth is in play for Trump this time around. Real Clear Politics has Trump leading Biden nationally by less than a percentage point. Bevan explains how that number has been trending recently and where their math has it heading. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
