2020 Virginia Election Results
Joe Biden is favored to win Virginia’s 13 electoral votes. Donald Trump lost the state by just over 5 percentage points in 2016. Formerly a Republican stronghold, Virginia has voted for Democrats in the last three presidential elections.
Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the state of Virginia, after Mr. Biden held a double-digit polling lead over President Trump, and Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat, handily won re-election. Virginia’s focus was on whether Democrats would hold or expand their seven-to-four majority in the House delegation.
Jennifer Wexton, who beat another Republican incumbent in 2018, won re-election, defending her 10th District seat against Aliscia Andrews. Bob Good, another Republican, defeated the Democratic candidate Cameron Webb in the state’s Fifth Congressional District, which was vacated by Denver Riggleman, a Republican. Elaine Luria, a Democrat who narrowly ousted Scott Taylor from his Second District seat in 2018, defeated him again.
Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat who in 2018 won a Seventh District seat that had been held by the G.O.P. since 1971, was locked in a close race with Nick Freitas, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates.
Both parties were watching Virginia’s five "pivot counties," which flipped to Mr. Trump in 2016 after twice voting for Barack Obama. — JON HURDLE
