Yep. To win, Youngkin threaded the needle perfectly.
Youngkin lucked out, timing favored him........when he ran, he was sucked into the newborn churning vortex of parents vs school boards.
He couldn’t possibly achieve the hopes pinned on him.....but he tried.
Nevertheless what gave him luster was his killing a covey of demrats who stupidly campaigned for sure thing mcawful......including jojo himself, kammy and spacey abrams.
ASFAIK, after this debacle, none of them has surfaced as a Dem backer.
