- Description
- Virginia's primary election has set the stage for a competitive November, with several congressional races expected to play a key role in determining control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In an interview with 7News, Cayce Myers, professor of public relations and director of graduate studies at Virginia Tech's School of Communication, explained how the delayed primary may have affected voter turnout and why Virginia remains one of the nation's key political battlegrounds.
Myers said moving the primary into late summer likely influenced turnout because of vacations, scheduling and voter enthusiasm. He also discussed how the failed redistricting effort left several districts—including Virginia's 1st, 2nd and 7th—highly competitive heading into the general election.

- Description
- President Donald Trump publicly criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro over her office's handling of the Reflecting Pool damage case, raising new questions about the future of one of the nation's highest-profile federal prosecutors.
Pirro, who has led the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia for more than a year, has made crime reduction a central focus of her tenure.
She has supported a federal law enforcement surge, tougher responses to juvenile crime and efforts to hold parents accountable for some teen takeover incidents—positions that have drawn both praise and criticism from local leaders.
After Trump's remarks, cameras captured Pirro arriving at the White House for a meeting with what appeared to be case files. As of the latest update, she remains in her position, and officials have not disclosed what was discussed or whether any personnel changes are planned.

Payne was in the same situation during the 2022 NFL season. He posted career highs with 11.5 sacks, 32 solo tackles and 64 total combined tackles.
