Virginia Primary Elections: Liberal Prosecutors and New Faces Emerge Victorious.

Three liberal prosecutors in Northern Virginia, Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, Steve Descano, and Buta Biberaj, won Democratic primary races after campaigning on criminal justice reform and reducing incarceration. They faced challengers who accused them of mishandling cases and contributing to rising crime rates. Dehghani-Tafti and Descano will not face Republican challengers in the November general election, while Biberaj will face a former Republican commonwealth's attorney. The prosecutors were backed by Democratic donors, including George Soros, and emphasized their progressive agendas for a second term.
