Per @vpapupdates, HD73 went for Harris by 0.6 points last November - but it also went for Youngkin by 15 points (!) four years ago and for Gillespie by 10.7 points in 2017. So Spanberger leading there by 3 points seems good. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/roan... @chaznuttycombe.bsky.social

Virginia's #HD73 is one of the fastest left-trending districts in the country, with Harris winning it by one point four years after Trump carried it by seven.
Will that be enough to unseat Republican incumbent Mark Earley in this suburban Richmond seat?

As @samshirazi.bsky.social points out, there are just four Dem primaries in targeted seats (HD57, HD73, HD75, HD89) and just two Dem incumbents (Patrick Hope and Delores McQuinn) facing primaries (Del. Kelly Fowler "surprisingly escapes a primary") bluevirginia.us/2025/04/dpva...

Attention TX HD73 Rep Carrie Isaac, you can stop pushing the “we must stop Sharia law in Texas” fear mongering, it’s ridiculous and you’re not focusing on our REAL issues! How about stop playing hide and seek and show up at the Water Forum that you finally declined to attend ‼️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
De Santis passed a law in Florida banning Sharia law. I don't suppose that anyone told him that 1. Sharia law is already "illegal" in the US, and 2. The only differences between Sharia law and White Christian Nationalism are bacon and beer.
