Current Democrats are trailing in two of three competitive House races in Virginia, which are described as an early bellwether for how the 2022 midterm elections may go.

Also, incumbent Representative Elaine Luria, a member of the January 6 riot investigation committee, is trailing Republican challenger Jen Kiggans by about 12 points with just over half of the polls counted.

Former federal agent and CIA officer, Representative Abigail Spanberger, came behind her Republican challenger Yesli Vega by about five points, who received 70 percent of the votes. Similarly, Representative Jennifer Wexton leads Republican challenger Hung Cao by 5,000 votes after about two-thirds of the votes have been counted.

The races in Virginia, the state that supported Joe Biden in 2020, are seen as a potential early warning for Democrats who fear a backlash from voters. Also, key Senate races in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, and New Hampshire have remained very close early on in what promises to be a long night.

In Ohio, Congressman Tim Ryan led venture capitalist and "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance by eight points in about a third of the polls counted.

In Georgia, former NFL player Herschel Walker was trading the lead with current Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock, with both remarkably close to the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff election next month.

As for Pennsylvania, John Fetterman also jumped early to lead Trump aide Dr. Mehmet Oz, likely reflecting early counts from Democrat-friendly urban centers.

In the same context, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today said that Canada and the United States will remain important economic partners working together for the mutual benefit of people on both sides of the border. Trudeau said when asked about potential implications: "We have worked through very different administrations in the past. The friendship and strength of the relationship between Canada and the United States will continue, no matter what happens in the midterms."
