RATINGS CHANGE: VA-07 is a “toss up”

Inside Elections has officially moved VA-07 to a “Toss Up” race.

When Abigail Spanberger announced she wasn’t running for re-election, VA-07 moved from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.” Today’s move to a “Toss Up” further indicates how this open seat is up for grabs for Republicans.

This shift also comes as Derrick Anderson and Eugene Vindman are tied in recent polling, another indicator of just how close this race will be.

Vindman has come under attack this week for inflating his military resume and has even started declining debates with Anderson.

“Nothing is going right for Democrats in Virginia’s Seventh District. While Eugene Vindman is floundering, momentum is on our side as Republicans are all hands on deck to send Derrick Anderson to Congress this November.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
