[Dotcom shell]: React VO does not announce location to user after using Skip to content button #8093

Description

Description

When the user selects the Skip to content button from the masthead, the screen reader does not announce the new location. User must tab to get the VO to announce anything, skipping directly to the first TOC item, and misses the "You are in a list" announcement.
