Elaine Luria must be counting her lucky stars.
I've been wondering why she hasn't gotten more attention from the Resistance. She has a pretty impressive resume (Navy commander and all). Bigger problem might be that Virginia Beach isn't exactly a hotbed of white liberalism. VA-2 will be a heavy lift, but we'll see.
Yeah, I agree; I think the way luria wins is by riding on Kaine’s coattails. I wonder what Kaine’s upper bound in VA-2 is... maybe a 10-15 point win against Stewart?
That seems like a stretch. It was only Northam +4 and Northam had much stronger ties to the district than Kaine does. While yeah Stewart is an awful person, I really don't see Kaine winning this district by more than 5 points. That still leaves room for Luria to win, but it'll be tough, and Taylor is about as strong as it gets for a freshman incumbent.
