Fascinating to see Ayala and Herring both at 50 and outperforming McAuliffe on the margins.
A result like this would surely spur discussion about McAuliffe being weak/Youngkin being strong, and certainly also the difficult optics of two GOP candidates of color struggling while the white man overperforms.
There's also the oddity that most VA off-year races feature generally coordinated campaigns among the three statewide candidates. McAuliffe has held to that (his yard signs and mailers all say McAuliffe/Ayala/Herring) and the Northam and Gillespie campaigns did the same in 2017. Youngkin's campaign for the most part has gone it entirely alone.
