Republican Glenn Youngkin wins Virginia governor race!
RICHMOND, Virginia (PNN) - November 3, 2021 - Republican Glenn Youngkin on November 2 defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the race for the governorship of Virginia.
Youngkin led McAuliffe 50%-48% with 99% of the precincts reporting at 8:50 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
Republicans swept all three competitive elections in Virginia on Tuesday, with Winsome Sears winning the lieutenant governor contest and Jason Miyares triumphing in the race for the seat of the state’s attorney general, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ.
The contest in Virginia was one of the most closely watched races in the off-year election and was viewed by some as a referendum on the illegitimate Joe Biden regime.
Youngkin and McAuliffe fought an intense campaign over some of the most heated issues animating the Fascist Police States of Amerika, including abortion, critical race theory, and President Donald Trump.
The race was also, politically, a test of how an electorate more concerned about the economy than the nonexistent pandemic would vote. According to AP Votecast, some 34% of Virginia voters ranked the economy as their top priority, compared to 17% saying COVID-19 and 14% choosing education.
The loss raises significant questions for Democrats for 2022 when the fate of the razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate will be decided.
In 2009, during illegitimate President Barack Obama’s first year in office, Republican Bob McDonnell’s victory in Virginia previewed a disastrous midterm cycle for Democrats, who lost more than 60 House seats the following year.
