The outcomes of the June 18 Virginia Democratic and Republican primaries will determine who the winners will run against in the November election.

Republican Primary
There are five candidates running in the 2024 Virginia Republican Primary for U.S. Senate. They include, Hung Cao, Edward C. “Eddie” Garcia Jr., Jonathan W. Emord, C.L. “Chuck” Smith Jr. and Scott Thomas Parkinson. The winner will challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Tim Kaine in November. No one is challenging Sen. Kaine for the Democratic nomination, so there is no Democratic primary in June.
