McAuliffe concedes Virginia governor's race to Youngkin
The Hill ^ | 11/03/2021 | JULIA MANCHESTER

Posted on 11/03/2021 7:09:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) conceded to Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) on Wednesday, hours after Youngkin declared victory.

"Congratulations to Governor-Elect Glenn Youngkin on his victory," McAuliffe said in a statement. "I hope Virginians will join me in wishing the best to him and his family."

Youngkin narrowly defeated McAuliffe by roughly 2 points on Tuesday.

In the same statement, McAuliffe pushed for a number of the liberal initiatives he highlighted during the campaign.

"While last night we came up short, I am proud that we spent this campaign fighting for the values we so deeply believe in. We must protect Virginia's great public schools and invest in our students," McAuliffe said.

Now we have to make sure that the count is not rigged in New Jersey.

If you go look at Reddit r/politics, they are saying that exact thing! “The people want socialism and the politicians are too far to the right”

The concern trolls were insisting all last night and this morning that the Republicans would never win _this_ election!

We need an “I f&^%ed up. I was a concern troll.” thread.

Bye Bye Hillary.

The McAwful loss is the end of the Clinton debacle. McAwful will not be governor of Virginia and then President of the United States

It’s a truly great day for America

"While last night we came up short . . ." McAuliffe said.

When it came time to perform, McAuliffe just couldn't get it up (beyond the margin of cheating).

McAwful looked like a Funeral Director when he came out to speak last night. Pale face with purple lipstick. The late WWE Star Paul Bearer
would be jelious.

Merrick Garland won that election for Youngkin by promising to sic the FIB on parents who complain to schoolboards.
