Republican Rep. Rob Wittman is seeking reelection in Virginia's 1st District against Democrat Shannon Taylor. The seat is described as slightly Republican but competitive. SNAP cuts have become an early campaign issue, with both sides using it to sharpen their case. The district’s slight Republican lean may give Republicans a modest edge, but the competitive framing and SNAP debate keep the race from looking settled. The news is mixed and does not point to a clear shift.
