McAwful tried to make this election about Trump after he said what he said about his education platform.

Youngkin made this about Virginia.
Youngkin played a very shrewd, local campaign. And he kept Trump at arms length, not denouncing or embracing him but supporting many of his policies. Contrast with McAuliffe who dragged anyone he could get his hands on down from DC. Youngkin made the right play to sway independents and moderate Dems who care about education.
 
The absolute legendary state of the Virginia GOP after that +10 Biden victory a year ago. They are so goddamn close.
Eh. I would say it's not so much the Virginia GOP, it's the Virginia Democrats. McAuliffe had a solid lead until he shot himself in the foot by pissing off parents. It evaporated most of their independent support. I'm certain that a lot of people who still voted Democrat disagreed with him and think he fucked up there as well. Then McAuliffe never really did anything that would help him come back from that and get back in the good graces of parents.
