VA is the template on how to win elections as Republicans need to learn...Great candidates, stick to the issues (Parents, schools, CRT, taxes, etc) and preparation for Democrat Tricks and fraud and great polling watchers!

Just run MAGA candidates. VA and MD politics are not like rest of the USA. Those states border on the DC swamp. MAGA is the winning ticket/

Youngkin ran a brilliant campaign.

I heard it described on a radio show today that he ran a "Goldilocks campaign" as in "Trumpy, but not too Trumpy."

He retained Trump's MAGA base, brought home some #NeverTrumpers from the 'burbs and flipped a lot of swing voters who went for Biden in 2020. And he had an army of poll-watchers looking out for shenanigans.

That's how you do it.
