State Sen. Jennifer Wexton is projected to win her Democratic congressional primary in Virginia, setting the stage for a high-profile clash against vulnerable Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) in November.
The Associated Press called the race for Wexton at 8:05 p.m. EDT, and for Comstock shortly thereafter.
Wexton defeated five other Democrats for the nomination Tuesday in a competitive district that encompasses the Washington, D.C., suburbs and stretches to West Virginia. She will now go on to face Comstock in one of the top House races this cycle.

If the primary vote totals are any indication, Wexton has a much bigger hill to climb than The Hill wants to indicate.
