Incumbent Democrat Bobby Scott, who has represented Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District since 1993 and won re-election with roughly 70 percent of the vote in 2024, faces minimal opposition heading into the August 4 primary and November 3 general election. The Hampton Roads-based district maintains a consistent Democratic lean reflected in repeated double-digit margins, limited Republican recruitment, and the absence of recent polling or fundraising surges favoring the GOP. Trader consensus pricing the Democratic nominee above 90 percent aligns with these structural factors, though an unusually strong national Republican environment, late primary upset, or unforeseen candidate withdrawal could still alter the outcome before November.
