CNN: VA-2 (Luria) falls but VA-7 (Spanberger) holds

Per the NYT analysis I read yesterday, this points to signs of a Republican ripple, not a wave. The NYT's analysis was something like:

VA-2 falls --> Red Ripple
VA-7 falls --> Red Wave
VA-10 falls --> Red Tsunami

We held VA-7 and VA-10, so it's looking like the worst case scenario isn't happening, at least.

CNN Projection: Democrat Jennifer Wexton will win reelection in Virginia's 10th

This district was expected to stay blue, but I read somewhere, I think NYT, that losing this district would be a sign of the worst case scenario for Democrats. So the fact that she has already been projected to win seems like good news. If Spanberger is projected to win soon that would be even better news.
