Democratic state Sen. Suhas Subramanyam defeated Republican Mike Clancy for retiring Rep. Jennifer Wexton’s (D-VA) Virginia House seat.

Subramanyam trounced Clancy for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District with 52.1% of the vote and 99% of ballots counted so far. The Associated Press called the race at 10:49 p.m. ET.

Subramanyam and Clancy, a tech company executive, faced off to win Wexton’s open seat. Democrats, in particular, were looking to keep the seat in their grasp, and Republicans saw an opportunity to flip a blue seat.

Virginia has proved to be a battleground state for House races, with multiple districts posing to reposition the balance of power in Washington.

Wexton has served in Congress since 2019.
