Virginia Democrats face primary shakeup in key races.

Virginia Democrats are facing intense and expensive primaries ahead of the state's legislative elections, with more than two dozen retirements and a handful of combative primary races. The independent experts drew new boundaries from scratch, stripping incumbents of their old districts, resulting in veteran, white, male Democratic state senators facing well-funded challengers, including younger candidates, women, or people of color running to their left. Democrats see an opening to hold their control of the state Senate, turn the tide in the House of Delegates, and blunt Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin's agenda for the rest of his term.
