Republican Navy veteran Hung Cao joins crowded field challenging Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine in 2024

Retired Navy veteran Hung Cao announced his bid for the 2024 Virginia Senate race, joining at least eight other Republicans seeking to challenge incumbent Democrat Tim Kaine.
Kaine recently announced plans to seek a third term after easing Democrat concerns about an open seat in Virginia.
Cao's campaign focuses on illegal immigration, crime, fentanyl, and politicization of the Justice Department.
Democrats have criticized Cao as too far right for Virginia voters and an "anti-choice extremist."
Cao's announcement video compared Biden to communist leaders and claimed the president is targeting 2024 challengers.
