Am I reading the map wrong or are the margins (relative to 2016) trending Republican in Alexandria and Richmond?

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

LOL!!!

This was the most likely Trump response to a Gillespie loss, in my opinion. Or, for that matter, any loss. Smiley

Dems seem to be making a serious play for the HoD.

Yes, this is true, but it has to be taken with a grain of salt. Northam is improving on Clinton in both places, but Gillespie is improving on Trump by more, so they are narrowly swinging Republican. These are the types of places that had a lot of solid very high income Republicans who voted for Johnson to whom Gillespie is more acceptable than Trump.

Alright. Makes sense.

Well, Trump is beyond radioactive in the state of Virginia, which is VERY pro-insider, pro-lobbyist, pro-bureaucrat, pro-deep state, etc. and totally relies on big government growth, so Trumpism obviously won't win in Virginia. Still shocked to see radical alt-left candidates like that DSA-endorsed Lee Carter win, and by double digits. Scary.
