Democrat Wins Virginia Governor's Race, Defeating Republican Trump Refused to Endorse.

Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has defeated Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to be the state’s next governor, Decision Desk HQ projected soon after polls closed Tuesday.

It was an unsurprising result. Spanberger consistently trounced Earle-Sears on the campaign trail, leading her in the polls by double digits for months and far outpacing her in fundraising and cash-on-hand throughout the race. The former congresswoman benefited from a moderate voting record and picked up endorsements that went to current officeholder, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the last time around.
