I could see a Republican winning in a red wave year if it's a good candidate. Warner almost lost a few cycles ago IIRC. Republicans have good chances at winning the governorship because VA has weird year elections.
As for presidential level victories, it may be a long time. Northern VA votes almost 70% for Democrats now, and there is not a large enough rural base to overcome those margins. As long as the GOP continues to nominate Trump or MAGA like candidates for president, VA is going to be very much out of reach.
