Trump and the RNC need to step into this big time. Yesterday. Sears was not the best choice, but the Democrat is a horror story.
Other than Youngkin being able to run again himself, who was better that was available to run? She is the incumbent Lt. Governor who was elected in her own right.
Virginia is increasingly blue...so she was at a disadvantage as any GOP candidate would be. This is also not an off-year election with the opposing party to the GOP candidate in the White House like last time, and her opponent is not making the same mistakes as McAuliffe was making - with the grand daddy of them all declaring openly that parents have no right to have a say in their own child’s education. While Youngkin was running a good campaign, that major blunder on McAuliffe’s part is probably what ultimately put him and the GOP slate over the top in that race.
