Virginia Mega Thread: The Youngkin Administration

[One Term Floridian]

Has Young Kim weighed in on this race yet

[One Term Floridian]

Safe D gonna safe D. Both sides are gonna waste millions just to see a predictable McAuliffe +4 or so victory

[One Term Floridian]

apparently terry mcaulife had some gaffe tonight where he said he doesn't want parents being involved in decisions schools make or something.

Ehh I think VA has become about as blue as IA has become red

This is T-Mac's "hell yes" moment, but likely won't be as consequential.

This will affect McAuliffe as much as Soybeangate affected Ernst last year.

I hope you're right, but Iowa's a lot more Republican than Virginia is Democratic, and the polarization is asymmetric.

If Youngkin wins, I will leave the forum for a year lmao

[One Term Floridian]

Wait are there seriously posters saying Youngkin is going to win PWC? Lemme counter by saying McAuliffe is going to win Goochland lmao

It's okay if anyone gets the race wrong. We all get it wrong sometimes. Deleting posts that show you massively off is..to put it kindly, cowardly.

This. I stupidly had Hillary winning OH in 2016 & Biden winning FL in 2020. I'll take the oof

I'm glad Atlas doesn't have a Needle like NYT. That thing would be going from Safe D to Lean D to Lean R to Safe R to Titanium R in the last hour alone...

Does the Times have a needle? I don't see it.

I don't think they'll have it for this election tonight

Youngkin appears to have made sizable gains in Loudoun and Youngkimjong Youngkin level margins in rurals, but will it be enough to win statewide? Pure toss up atm

[One Term Floridian]

Lol. Tabulation error has princess blanding with 43% of the vote in caroline county. Hillsville swinging hard left

How dare u assume Caroline doesn’t want its Princess back

[One Term Floridian]

Well now I'm just confused lol

Kornacki's saying one thing, Wasserman something else... Does anyone actually know who is right? Kornacki even checked with his behind the scenes people it seemed before confirming that.

It’s clear that no one knows what’s going on lol

Massive R swing in Loudoun has me genuinely concerned for the entire D ticket

Major confusion about ED vs early vote.

Yeah they’re taking forever with early votes just about everywhere

[One Term Floridian]

Is it really over? What about all the outstanding early votes? Super confused

[One Term Floridian]

RIP Democratic Party. That is all. Lol.

This fear mongering is a sign of a flailing campaign. Could Dems really not find anyone better?

Youngkin has literally been fear mongering this entire campaign...

They are really desperate for talking points on this.  It's going to be hilarious to read this forum when Youngkin loses.

Given that T-Mac is "more vulnerable than Tester" I guess when Youngkin loses it means the Dem senate is safe for 4 years!

LMAO but will he leave?

No one leaves here.

You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave

I wonder if Herring can actually pull through. He’s running a full percentage point ahead of McAuliffe. Might be possible if this continues to narrow?

[One Term Floridian]

Only AG is worth waiting for at this point…

Should the gop be concerned that Buchanan county actually trended blue compared to 2020 election?

How much redder can it get now? It was bound to be maxed out at some point.

Hero!

Yea youngkin is absolutely right here. Those fat redneck hillbillies need to get vaccinated

This is probably why McAuliffe outran Biden in some rural areas.

Wat. There were actually *rural* areas where McAuliffe did better than Biden?

McAuliffe (2021) did worse than Biden in pretty much every municipality in the state.  There was substantial variation in how much worse, with the largest drop-offs I believe in Hampton Roads, rural Southside, and DC exurbs (not Loudoun/Prince William, but one ring of counties further out).

Right. That's what I figured

[One Term Floridian]

Yeah, Youngkin having a -2% approval already, and his approval being barely over 40% just a few months into his admin is just terrible. Shows that this is clearly not what Virginia at large really wanted

Who did Virginia want? Terry McAuliffe?

Turns out VA really wanted the Princess Blanding
