Abortion remains a key issue in Virginia's primary elections.

Virginia's primary elections saw the defeat of anti-abortion incumbent Joe Morrissey and the endorsement victories of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Both parties are expected to dominate the airwaves over the next five months, with every single legislative seat across the two chambers up for grabs in November. Democrats hope to retake enough seats to defend abortion rights in the state, while Youngkin aims for unified Republican control. The battle for Virginia's future is expected to be incredibly expensive, with already over $22 million raised before the primaries were done.
