Interesting development here in Virginia. Our local senator is Amanda Chase , who is one of the most gun toting, white supremacy apologist, Trump loving, conspiracy spreading politicians around is running for the republican nomination for governor and likely favorite in a primary.
The Virginia Republican Party, who is sick of nutty right wingers winning the nomination but losing badly in general elections, decided to move to a convention instead of primary to try to pick a more viable candidate. Of course, that means that Chase has decided to run as an independent.

It just shows how tough it is for the republicans to try to turn their party away from the crazy. I would guess the Democrat wins by 20-30 points over second place in this scenario
