Virginia Governor’s Race- A Nail Biter For Dems.
The Virginia Governor’s race is unexpectedly close and could cause Democrats to rethink their post Trump political campaigning. (ABC News)
“A loss in the Virginia governor’s race, long considered a bellwether for midterm elections, would trigger all-out panic among Democrats far beyond Virginia. The party is already wary about their chances in elections that will decide control of the House and Senate and statehouses next year.
Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, acknowledged a McAuliffe loss would be a “doomsday” scenario. But he argued that Virginia Democrats would show up and pull off a win for McAuliffe.”
Politics in the post Trump era almost seems like a life that is taking place with an evil overlords watchful eye always ready to intercede. Without Trump on the ballot or in power it will be interesting to find out if voters will vote for a candidate or simply vote against another candidate. The thread of a Trump return is always in the back of many peoples minds, will it be in the minds of Virginia voters on Tuesday? We shall see.
