Republican John McGuire, the incumbent who defeated former Rep. Bob Good in the 2024 primary with Trump’s backing, secured his renomination easily in the August 4 primary. Democrat Tom Perriello, a former holder of the seat, also advanced decisively. The district’s R+6 Partisan Voter Index and Trump’s 11- to 12-point margin there in 2024 underpin the strong Republican position. Court rulings invalidated a Democratic-backed redistricting effort that would have altered the map, leaving the current boundaries intact. Forecasters rate the race Solid or Likely Republican, with analysts noting that a national Democratic wave would be required to overcome the district’s structural lean and rural, southside Virginia voter base.
