Virginia Senate race to battle top intel Dem takes shape after redistricting delays

After months of delay, the race for Virginia's Senate seat is now set, with a Republican contender emerging to enter a three-way fight in the quest to oust longtime Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va.

Bert Mizusawa clinched the Republican nomination for Senate in the Old Dominion against two other hopefuls eyeing Warner's seat and a chance for power in a state that hasn't sent a Republican to the upper chamber in more than two decades.

Mizusawa, a former major general in the military, has forayed into politics before, launching unsuccessful bids for the House and Senate over the last 16 years.

His primary focuses, if elected, are tackling the nation's debt, affordability and to be a "pro-military Senator," according to his campaign website.

Mizusawa isn't alone in his bid to unseat Warner, who is running for a fourth term in the upper chamber.

Moran made headlines earlier this year when he revealed he wanted to get caught by the prediction market platform Kalshi for betting on himself in his campaign. Moran was fined over $6,000 after refusing to strike a deal with Kalshi.

He told Fox News Digital at the time his decision to bet on himself was effectively free marketing for his campaign.

"I know that they're going to come after me when I place a bet on myself. So, I do that knowing that, for the low price of about $100, I can get more attention on me, as evidenced by your calling me, than anything else that I could do with my ideas as a politician," Moran said.

"Because we don't live in a constitutional republic where ideas can win. We live in one owned by the donor class."
