Shannon Taylor has won the Democratic primary in Virginia's 1st District, CBS News projects, defeating six other candidates seeking the chance to unseat incumbent GOP Rep. He's held the seat since 2007 and has President Trump's endorsement. Taylor, the Commonwealth's attorney for Henrico County, was the front-runner in the race. The 1st District extends across the Richmond suburbs and north and west into rural counties in the state, and also includes Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The House Democrats' campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, saw Taylor as a top-tier candidate and gave her fundraising and organizational support as part of its Red to Blue program, an effort to win GOP-held seats.
