Virginia Republican state Sen. Bryce Reeves has dropped out of the 2026 race for Sen. Mark Warner‘s (D-VA) seat, citing a “serious family health matter” that requires him to remain in the Commonwealth.

“Today, after prayerful reflection and conversations with my family, I am withdrawing from the U.S. Senate race. A serious family health matter and the realities of timing require my full attention at home. My faith and my family come first,” Reeves posted on X Sunday.
