Retired Navy Captain Hung Cao won the Republican Party Senate primary in Virginia to face Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in November, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Cao, who received support from former President Trump in May, fended off a small group of Republican challengers in the Republican race.

The retired Navy captain is a familiar face, as he ran against Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) in 2022 in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, although he lost to the Democrat by more than 6 points that cycle.

Cao’s fight for the seat against Kaine is an uphill battle, however, as the nonpartisan election detractor Cook Political Report reviews Kaine seat “solid democrat”.

At the same time, Cao benefits from polls in the state that show President Biden and Trump in a closer confrontation than expected. An average of Virginia polls compiled by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ shows Trump and Biden tied with 44 percent support.
