In Virginia, three Black women are among those running for governor in the June 8 Primary Election, seeking to ascend to the Commonwealth’s highest office and potentially make history. Two Democrats Jennifer Carroll Foy and Jennifer McClellan as well as Liberation Party candidate Princess Blanding are in the race. Lt. Governor, Justin Fairfax, the state’s first Black man in that role is also running.
They are joined by Terry McAuliffe, a former Democratic National Committee chair who served as Governor from 2014 to 2018, and Republican Glenn Youngkin, who has been endorsed by former president Donald Trump.

The high court decided that its ruling last term, which held that the Constitution requires jury verdicts in criminal trials to be unanimous, doesn t apply to those already convicted. The decision in Edwards v. Vannoy is a loss for Thedrick Edwards and hundreds more in Louisiana and Oregon, the only two states that allow non-unanimous verdicts.
It s also a loss for individuals who may have been convicted under other racist segregation-era laws and trial rules, sometimes for long, even lifetime, sentences.
