Republicans may make a pickup in Virginia Beach. Rep. Elaine Luria (D) may have lost her race — she currently trails by 4 points with more than 95% of the vote counted. She was a member of the colossal waste of time that we now know as the Jan. 6 committee, an attempt to take a one-day riot and turn it into a two-year issue for the next election. Everything about these hearings was stage-managed and scheduled for maximum electoral impact. Needless to say, it didn’t work, at least not for Luria.
This was a critical race for Republicans for control of the U.S. House. The race featured two Navy veterans, one of whom, Republican Jen Kiggans, is a helicopter pilot.

Take that as a symbol for how tonight seems to be turning out in many places. Republicans are making gains but not doing as well as they had hoped or as well as they should have.
