Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart won the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., Tuesday night.
Stewart fought off an unexpectedly tough challenge from Virginia state lawmaker and former Green Beret Nick Freitas. E.W. Jackson, the 2013 Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, ran a distant third.
The contest highlighted regional and generational divides within the Republican primary electorate, as Stewart embraced President Trump, Virginia's Confederate heritage symbols, and a strong stance against illegal immigration. Freitas aligned himself with more libertarian Republicans nationally, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and pressed Stewart to distance himself from the "alt-right."

This is the guy we wanted. Freitas was the candidate of the GOPe. Corey has been tough on illegals in Prince William County.

Corey will fight; his opponent would have mostly yielded. That being so, it is VA, where they love all things Kaine!
To: TBP
I voted for him and hope that he remains so.

The GOP establishment in Virginia will now work to kill Stewart, like they did with Cuccinelli and Ollie North.

All headed up by His Rightyness, Donald Trump himself (whose politics generally looks like JFK’s did).

It doesn’t matter. VA is deep blue now. Kaine wins re-election in a walk with strong support from NOVA and MS13

Freitas would have had a slim chance at winning. Stewart likely will lose by a wide margin.
I bet he’s gonna do better than Jim Gilmore did in 2008 though.
