Election News Digest: April 22 [1] ['View Profile', 'Back Of Bourke', 'Greg Dworkin', 'Alan Singer'] Date: 2026-04-22 Breakdown of the new Virginia House districts VA-01 (52-45 Harris) Democratic Rep. Eugene Vindman announced in February that he would seek reelection in the new 1st District, which would be the natural successor to his current 7th District. Vindman will be favored against any Republican opponents in this new constituency, which extends from Northern Virginia south to Richmond’s suburbs. VA-02 (52-47 Harris) While Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans’ 2nd District is still based in the Virginia Beach area, mapmakers transformed it from a seat Donald Trump narrowly carried into one Kamala Harris would have taken by 5 percentage points. Former Rep. Elaine Luria, who Kiggans unseated in a close 2022 general election, launched her rematch campaign last year just as Democrats were planning the remap. A few other Democrats are also running, but they’ve all struggled to raise the kind of money necessary to wage a strong campaign against the well-known and well-funded Luria. VA-05 (53-45 Harris) Democrat Shannon Taylor, the commonwealth’s attorney for Henrico County, had been waging a challenge against Republican Rep. Rob Wittman in the 1st District, but she said in February she’d instead run in the 5th. https://www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-digest-virginia-voters-approve President Donald Trump endorses Anthony Constantino for NY-21 seat President Donald Trump has endorsed Anthony Constantino in the race for New York’s 21st Congressional District. Constantino, a Republican, is the CEO of Sticker Mule and has said he is a dedicated Trump supporter. He has a large “Vote for Trump” sign on top of his business’s building, which the president acknowledged in his endorsement post on social media platform Truth Social. “Anthony is strongly supported by many of the most Highly Respected MAGA Warriors in our Movement, including Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Roger Stone!,” Trump wrote in part. “Anthony has been such a Great Supporter that he actually put up a somewhat “controversial” sign, against strong opposition, in my honor. The sign is still there!” https://www.mynbc5.com/article/donald-trump-anthony-constantino-ny-21/71087560 Senate Polls FL-Sen : Echelon Insights for NetChoice: Ashley Moody (R-inc): 50, Alex Vindman (D): 43.
