Democrat Ralph Northam has won Virginia's race for governor.
Early unofficial results show Northam defeated Republican Ed Gillespie on Tuesday.
Virginia's hard-fought race was closely watched as a swing-state test of President Donald Trump's popularity. Northam, a pediatric neurologist and the state's lieutenant governor, repeatedly tried to tie Gillespie to the president during months of divisive campaigning overshadowed by racial overtones and attack ads.
Northam's victory was in large part due to a surge in anti-Trump energy since the president took office. Democrats said they had record levels of enthusiasm heading into the race.
Gillespie kept Trump at a distance throughout the campaign but tried to rally the president's supporters with hard-edge ads focused on illegal immigration and preserving Confederate statues.

The left wants to turn a lot of southern states into VA by flooding them big cities with illegals, dreamers, refugees etc.
the only population that has increased in VA is the illegal and immigrant population and that’s why we have VA a blue state now.
this is why we can not relent on the wall, and tough immigration control because the left will turn all those southern states like VA. States like Texas and Arizona and Georgia.
Screw that, we don’t need ed in the senate. Stewart for senate.
Never thought I’d see the day when Pennsylvania and Michigan actually have brighter futures than Virginia.
The Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia serves as the chief executive of the Commonwealth of Virginia for a four-year term. The current holder of the office is Terry McAuliffe, who was sworn in on January 11, 2014. His term will expire on January 13, 2018.
An utter lie. Virginia is a Demon Rat state that stayed Demon Rat.
That may change depending on how hard the tax bill hits them. Both have state and local income taxes and large numbers of taxpayers who itemize.
At the rate it’s going the Old Dominion is doomed to become another broke blue state.
Makes sense ‘cause that’s where a lot of its transplanted residents came from.
Learning from experience appears to be the exception for most folks.
Yes you are correct. my bad. It will seem like 12.
Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8, 2017
Revenge of the swamp dwellers and their gubmit check cashing parasites.
No surprise nationally. Hillary carried Va and Jersey. Trump needs to fire more Federal employees - as many as possible. They have infiltrated northern and eastern Va.
To the 4 of you who answered my post...thanks...appreciate the education. Truly..
A Democrat ran against a RINO. This means, in all ways that matter, the Democrat ran unopposed.
“I did not vote for the establishment Bush-supported Gillespie, who is the kind of republican who’s been screwing us for years.”
Don’t take this the wrong way, but go **** yourself.
Nothing but love,

MN as well.
ALL of the past and present Massachusetts GOP Governors are/were RINOS! There isn’t any hint of conservatism, from either, major political party within Massachusetts, AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF MASSACHUSETTS POLITICAL OFFICE!
It would have been big news if Gillespie would have won but, this is expected in that state these days.
It will be much harder to fight the rampant election fraud in Virginia now.
