THE JUNE 18, 2024 PRIMARY. On episode 34 🎙️ of the Black Virginia News podcast Fergie Reid and Lauren Burke discuss their 5 takeaways after the June 18, 2024 primary in Virginia.
Republican Rep. Bob Good and State Senator John McGuire’s contest is so close they're still counting ballots. State Senator Suhas Subramanyan won over Del. Dan Helmer after a suspiciously timed and unproven allegation from 2018 targeted at Helmer in the last days of the primary campaign.
Attorney Leslie Mehta prevailed over retired Army Colonel Herb Jones. Eugene Vindman has a formidable opponent in Virginia’s 7th congressional district. The power of an under-reported community in Northern Virginia is also very noteworthy.
Also listen to Sam Shirazi on Pod Virginia give his take on the June 18 primary races.
