NBC News also projects Democrat Ralph Northam defeated Republican E.W. Jackson in Virginia's controversial lieutenant governor race, which was defined by social issues. The campaign centered on Northam's defense of abortion rights and Jackson's Christian-based anti-abortion platform. Jackson also opposes gay marriage, while Northam supports it.

Throughout the campaign, Jackson was slammed for some controversial remarks, including comparing Planned Parenthood to the KKK. Jackson defended his remarks, telling the Free Lance-Star, "I say the things I say because I'm a Christian. It's not because I hate anybody. But because I have religious values that matter to me."
