My husband said tonight that while McAuliffe kept trying to make this national and and all about Trump, Youngkin kept it about Virginia, and local.
And it looks like Youngkin kept Trump's base and is flipping independents.
This is going to be a big lesson for the GOP, that the right candidate can retain MAGA voters and win the squishy middle if they run their campaign right.
And Youngkin ran a great campaign.
