Dave Brat adjusts to life as front runner

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Republican Dave Brat, who upset then U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia’s GOP primary, is keeping a busy schedule ahead of the November general election.

Brat said at a recent campaign event that the voter enthusiasm that helped him topple Cantor over the summer hasn’t waned. But Democrat Jack Trammell is accusing Brat of avoiding debates and being out-of-touch with the Virginia 7th Congressional District.
