Former President Trump says if he had not supported Virginia Republican Glenn Youngkin, the new governor-elect would have lost by a sizable margin in Tuesday's election.
"I've heard Virginia is blue, but I've never believed it was blue," Trump said during an interview on local radio in Virginia on Wednesday morning, according to Politico reporter Meridith McGraw. "Without MAGA he would have lost by 15 points, more ... instead of giving us credit they say, 'oh he's more popular than [Trump].'"
Youngkin defeated former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) in Virginia's gubernatorial election, thanks largely to a boom in support from suburban voters and higher margins of victory in rural areas that Trump won during the 2020 presidential contest despite losing the state as a whole by 10 points.

Virginia isn’t Alabama.
It’s a D+6 State with an extreme left urban wokester core.
Youngkin threaded the needle perfectly. He held the rural Trump base, but also appealed to the convincible soccer mom vote in the less woke suburbs.
President Trump - stay in your lane. Stop making it all about you.
Santorum gave him credit last night on Newsmax.
I’m sure it helped but McAwful kicked his own ass by saying stupid things about parents. Even a low IQ low info bum on the street knows you don’t mess with momma and papa bear on their turf.
Still; he who laughs last laughs loudest and you can bet Donald J Trump is laughing pretty loud about now.
I agree. Without Trump, Youngkin would’ve lost.
Pretty much stated what the DEMs believe. That got him into trouble. Now to tie that to the rest of the DEM party.
I wonder what Youngkin’s anti-vote fraud strategy was?
I agree. I fully support our President (Trump) but his ego gets in his way sometimes. If he can learn to be a little more gracious and let others take the credit it would make him look even better in the eyes of American voters.
Youngkin is more popular in Virginia than Trump, and Trump knows it.
There’s no denying...MAGA policies ARE what Younkin won on with the help of Biden’s sh** a** policies to date.
Actually, without McAuliffe trying to make it all about Trump, Youngkin would’ve lost.
Yes.
Reagan said that it didn’t matter who got the credit as long as what he wanted to happen did in fact happen. I wish that Trump would take a lesson from this.
Absolutely. President Trump is the only true patriot in the Repukelican Party since Reagan. He honestly tried to live up to his promises to the electorate and the GOPe sided with the leftist Democrats to purge him for it. Presidents Trumps only crime was not to further enrich the establishment as they feast of the profits of Holding a fire sale on American prosperity.
Even with that, Loundoun still voted for Terry. That just tells you how far gone NOVA is.
I’ll give Trump some room here. Without him the MAGA thing would not be. At this point, MAGA is bigger than Trump or any one person. God bless America!
Youngkin also wouldn’t have won if McAuliffe didn’t say the STATE owns your kids, parents should have no say in their kids’ education, and the marxist CRT is a myth. The margin should been 90 to 10.
“Youngkin is more popular in Virginia than Trump, and Trump knows it.”
Virginia is a Blue State and Youngkin is a Romney RINO, so of course they like him.
