Inflation fears pressure Democrats in Virginia House races. Could they be a bellwether?

• The National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting three Virginia Democratic incumbents this midterm cycle.
• The nation’s inflation crisis could help the Republican Party's chances to retake the House.
• Soaring food and gas prices have led voters to sour on President Joe Biden and Democrats.

ORANGE, Va. – Lora Dotson, a resident of Locust Grove, Virginia, blames Democrats for inflation and the economic pain Virginians are facing. 

"I think that the gas issue is on voters' mind the most because it's hitting everybody at home right now in their pockets," Dotson said. 

And it's not just gas that people are upset over.

"I think this situation with the formula for the babies is hitting a lot of women hard right now," she added, referring to a national shortage of baby formula. "When you gotta go search for food to feed your child, it's bad, when your country can't even help you with stuff like that."
