The 2023 elections may not have the fireworks of 2024, but there is still plenty up for grabs. In this"off-year," most of which takes place on Nov. 7, Virginia will be keenly watched, particularly by followers of Gov. Glenn Youngkin and whether he can springboard Republican success into national aspirations. Meanwhile, the governor's mansion is up for grabs in Kentucky and Mississippi.
In the primary, Amo received the endorsement of Ron Klain, Biden’s former chief of staff, the Congressional Black Caucus, and former Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy, who held the seat for almost two decades. If elected, he told the outlet, he would “fight to ban assault-style weapons in our country” and “support legislation to build on the progress of last year’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first significant piece of gun safety legislation in over 30 years, to increase funding for research at the for gun violence prevention.”
But the odds of him winning are still slim even though he has embraced more centrist stances and has criticized elements of the Republican Party as extreme. And with the margins in the House already narrow, especially when considering the retirement of Utah GOP Rep. Chris Stewart, the Republicans will be in a tighter majority.
