2,010,067 minus 1,785,542 equals 224,525. That was an even bigger victory margin for Kaine than Obama got in VA that year.
However, RAT Senator Mark Warner barely won reelection against Republican Ed Gillespie in 2014 (winning by only 17,727 votes):
Mark R. Warner Democratic 1,073,667 49.15%
Ed W. Gillespie Republican 1,055,940 48.34%
