What Virginia's governor's race could mean for the future of the Republican party
Should Youngkin pull off the win, Republican operatives across the country will breathe a sigh of relief, and Democrats will experience a huge cortisol spike: It would be the first Republican victory in a statewide race in Virginia, and could offer a new playbook for the GOP to recover the kind of suburban Republican voters they lost during the Trump era.
Virginia is a Southern state, but it has been trending blue for some time, a phenomenon that became particularly apparent during the Trump era.Consider that since 2016, the year Trump led his party’s ticket and won the presidency, the GOP in Virginia has lost: two U.S. Senate races; the 2017 gubernatorial race; its U.S. House of Representatives majority; its majority in the Virginia Senate and; its House of Delegates majority.
