Five Virginia Republicans vie for a chance to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine
RICHMOND — Five Republicans are set on ousting Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in purple Virginia this fall, an uphill battle one of them can take on after winning the June 18 primary.
Kaine, a former Virginia governor who was Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016, is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the seat “Solid D,” meaning it is not considered competitive.
