Virginia governor’s race open thread
I have no tea leaves or sparrow entrails to read, but here are some recent statewide results:
2017 governor’s race: Dems by 9
2018 Senate race: Dems by 16
2020 presidential race: Dems by 10
2020 Senate race: Dems by 12
Obviously those were all in more structurally favorable context to the Democrats than this one, but a loss here would still be very ominous, as blue as VA has gotten in recent years. Especially since it would be essentially a product of Youngkin yelling “Oooga booga critical race theory!” over and over again.
So fingers and toes crossed.
