Certainly Youngkin ran the right campaign, but the election wasn't about him, it's about an re-engaged Republican party, which has everything to do with Trump.

Youngkin made a point of keeping Donald Trump at arms length, at one point saying that McCauliffe was the only one talking about Trump.

The only person evoking Trump..."

Most evocative....

Still doesn't change the fact that nearly all Virginians have no idea who Youngkin is. Perhaps they'll get to know him now, but they voted for him not because they knew who he is but because they know who he is NOT (which is also why down-ballot Rs out-performed him).

And that key information was "evoked" by Trump who invoked Youngkin's win.
