Republican Ed Gillespie has called Democrat Ralph Northam to concede, two sources familiar with the call said Tuesday night.
Northam defeated Gillespie in the Virginia governor's race, according to NBC News projections.
- Virginia Democrat Ralph Northam easily cruised to victory over Republican Ed Gillespie in a race in that looked as if it had been tightening in recent weeks. The success translated down the ballot as well, with Democrats making major gains in the state legislature.
- In New Jersey, Democrat Phil Murphy soundly defeated Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno. Guadagno proved unable to separate herself from Gov. Chris Christie, who will leave office as one of the nations most unpopular elected officials.
- Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio handily won a second term, while voters in Maine chose to expand access to Medicaid, overruling the state's Republican governor.

Headline from WAPO: "Anti-Trump backlash fuels a Democratic sweep in Virginia and elections across the country"
There seems to be a growing movement of voters seeking to not only reject trump, but to punish the republicans as a whole for giving America this atrocity.

Virginia reliably elects governors of the party opposite the president and they have for a long time.
In addition, Virginia has had a lot more Beltway libs move into northern Virginia so the state has gone more Purple in the last few decades.

I do not support any party, however.....
Going forward, I will support the candidate who has the best chance of defeating a republican.

He's D&R party, establishment swamp critter, to the bitter end. He's pushing the standard MSM propaganda that there's a difference between D's and R's. Just another globalist, NWO crony capitalist tool.

I appreciate your perspective...
I believe there is a huge difference, the republicans collectively supported and elected the most embarrassingly morally corrupt individual alive to the highest office in the world.
For that, they must be punished.

ROFLMAO!
Just because your mama told you that you were a smart little boy doesn't mean anything. Mamas have been known to lie about things like that.
