This is all because the Republican Party decided not to run anyone in that seat, so this guy took advantage of it. If any Republican in the district ran against him, they’d have gotten the nomination. We should always run someone for a seat - never allow a Dem to run unopposed or someone like this to get the nomination by default. This guy will lose badly (as he should) but not before the media attempts to saddle him with Republicans.
Barbara Comstock Republican holds the seat and is running. Or is she quitting and the Pubbies have conceded her district?
