Biden projected to win Virginia

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will win Virginia's 13 electoral votes, The Associated Press and Politico project.

Biden's projected win in the newly-reliable blue state was called not long after polls closed, with just 9 percent of precincts reporting. Sen. Mark Warner (D), who faced a much tougher re-election race in 2014, was also projected to win on Tuesday, AP projected.

Virginia was Biden's second win of the night, after Vermont went in his favor. Neighboring West Virginia's presidential, Senate, and gubernatorial races all went for President Trump.
