Elaine Luria, a former member of the congressional committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, is seeking to reclaim her House seat in Virginia's second congressional district. Luria, who lost her seat in the 2022 midterms to Republican Jennifer Kiggans, believes that dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's presidency will work in her favor as Democrats aim to regain control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections. She has raised over $1.75 million in the first quarter of 2026, significantly outpacing Kiggans, and has secured key endorsements from Virginia's governor and U.S. senators. Luria's campaign is bolstered by the potential for new congressional maps that could favor Democrats, and she emphasizes the need to address cuts to federal programs and military support. Despite facing criticism as an 'out-of-touch liberal,' Luria remains optimistic about her chances, stating that the political winds are shifting in her favor as she seeks to hold Trump and his allies accountable.
