It was a long shot for Republican Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, and now it’s over. Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has won the gubernatorial race, ending a contest that’s been riddled with drama. Sears had opportunities to turn things around. A white elderly Democrat carried a sign that was primarily seen as racist when Sears spoke out at an Arlington School Board meeting regarding the story of Richard Cox, a sex offender, who camped out at a high school girls’ locker room, claiming to be transgender. Spanberger’s answer to this question was also a trainwreck.

Truth be told, Abby is a bad candidate. Spanberger also said she wouldn’t work with President Trump to increase economic opportunity in the state. She’s the typical brain-dead, woke candidate who only caters to the niche, the illiberal, and the unspooled. And Northern Virginia is packed full of these crazies.

Yet the flip side is that Sears wasn’t a good candidate either. If this were a football game, it would be an epic matchup between two 4-6 teams.
The government shutdown might not have helped either, as federal workers dot crucial areas—and they’re all anti-Trump, furloughed, and angry.
Ghazala Hashmi won the state's lieutenant governor race as well.

It made a valiant effort in the closing days by surging over a point towards the Dems, but it wasn't enough to capture the Blue Wave.
