Former Del. Lashrecse Aird was projected to win the Democratic primary in a key Virginia state Senate race, according to Press, unseating the controversial state Sen. Joe Morrissey (D) in a contest that focused largely on abortion.
Aird was backed by a slew of high-profile Democrats in the state, including Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who were determined to oust the scandal-plagued Morrissey, one of the rare “pro-life” Democrats still serving.
