It was likely agreed upon not to prevent the election of a moderate Republican in Virginia for those reasons.

More likely, Youngkin was recruited to run for VA governor by the elites to prevent a MAGA candidate from winning. I will consider Youngkin to be another Kemp or Ducey until he proves otherwise.

They will likely succeed in flipping New Jersey because the margin of victory was narrow, the Garden State's Democrats have been corrupt for over a century, and the state's GOP is notoriously spineless.

New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the Union. Take a look at the satellite maps of the Pine Barrens in Burlington County or the forests and swamp lands of South Jersey and see all of that undeveloped land. Then you will understand how densely populated North Jersey is. There is just an enormous reservoir of addresses for ghost voters up North. Call me a cynic, but my gut reaction is that they won't let Murphy lose. Too many Wall Street types live or own vacation property in NJ to allow him to lose.

A MAGA candidate would've been blown off the field by McAuliffe in Virginia. We're not talking about Idaho here.
