2023 election night: A very bad outcome for Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin

 

The headline is from July 11, 2022

Headline:  The Hill

Youngkin’s win, along with those of other down-ballot Republicans, has raised questions about whether Republicans can make further inroads there in the midterm elections and possibly in 2024, especially as President Biden faces consistently low approval numbers.

And yes, Republicans gained a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2022 midterms.

Well, guess what, folks?  Glenny is still without a follow-up hit.

The Nation, 11/8/2023

He spent more than $14 million and failed. Democrats kept their lead in the state Senate. More surprisingly, they took back the House, winning at least 51 seats; final margins for both chambers will come later Wednesday. Youngkin needed a Senate victory to enact his promised 15-week abortion ban and other right-wing measures. Instead, he lost both houses in Virginia’s general assembly. 

Along with overwhelming pro-choice victories on Ohio’s constitutional Issue 1, as well as Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear’s slam-dunk reelection, abortion rights advocates had a great night. Youngkin’s humiliating defeat is special, though.  [reaction shot]
