Virginia Postmortem

Glenn Youngkin will be the next governor of Virginia, a scenario that struck me as highly unlikely even a few months ago. Only a year ago Biden won Virginia by a wide margin, and it’s been trending blue over the last several elections. Since McAuliffe had been a reasonably popular governor before, I fully expected that the polling would turn out to be off and he’d squeak out a win. But clearly, I was wrong.
