Democrat Elaine Luria has won the House race in Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, defeating Republican incumbent Jen Kiggans. This victory marks a significant shift in the district's political landscape, as Luria previously served two terms in the House before losing to Kiggans in 2022. The Associated Press declared Luria the winner at 11:47 p.m. EST on November 3, 2026.
Luria's win is part of a broader trend of Democratic gains in the midterm elections, reflecting a shift in the political balance of the district. Both candidates are Navy veterans, with Luria having served for two decades and reaching the rank of commander, while Kiggans has also served two terms in the House.
