How The Virginia Elections Could Shape Midterms

Congressional Democrats are debating if Terry McAuliffe lost the Virginia Governor's race because of a comment he made suggesting parents should not be telling schools what to teach, a line which would later be taken out of context.

Arbery, a 25 year-old black man, was jogging when he was chased by three white men before being fatally shot.
