Experts: Democrats likely to win NJ and VA races

Democrats are early favorites to win governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia this year, according to a leading elections handicapper.

Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a nonpartisan project of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, on Wednesday rated both states, which went for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election last fall, as “leans Democratic.”

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) are unable to seek reelection because of term limits.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) will face former Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) on the ballot in Virginia, after uncontested primaries in June, while New Jersey voters will decide their parties’ nominees from crowded slates in primary elections June 10.
