Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is projected to win Virginia, according to Decision Desk HQ.

While Virginia has voted for a Republican in nine of the past 12 presidential elections, the state has voted Democratic in the past three elections. There are no major down-ballot races in the Senate or at the gubernatorial level, but Virginia is home to competitive House races in the state's 2nd and 7th Congressional Districts.

Virginia is firmly in Democratic control, with Democrats holding both houses of the state Legislature, the governorship, and nine out of 13 congressional seats. Virginia has 13 electoral votes and was not expected by analysts to be competitive.
