Glenn Youngkin won Virginia's governor race, making him the first Republican to win statewide office in 12 years.

Youngkin's victory deals a rebuke to Democrats a year ahead of the 2022 elections that will decide control of Congress and other statehouses nationwide.
"How much fun!" said Youngkin, a decided underdog at the start of a campaign in which he stressed education, especially the teaching of race and history, and the economy, all issues that will loom large across the country in 2022.
"Together, we will change the trajectory of this Commonwealth," Youngkin told cheering supporters at a victory party in the early morning hours Wednesday. "Breakfast will be served shortly," he joked.

Finally, some sanity
Congrats from PA. Good job Virginia parents
Same here!
Same here
Congratulations Governor Younkin. There is a God! So happy for you from PA.
@Mitchell Hodgemeyer Nothing like middle school humor with people like you. Biden being president has literally nothing to do with a conversation about expressions / god. Why should he be brought up?
@Lindy B Okay, anyways I was making fun of his belief in god – not criticizing the expression itself. Pretty much the only people that use that expression are god believers, especially if they are republicans. So I went with it.
@Philly Special I know you’re not, that’s the part I’m making fun of. You should be.
@John But I’m being serious, Princess.
@John No… really… are you a nerdy looking girl?
Congratulations to Gov. Youngkin and Lt. Gov. Sears. Job well done!
Great job Virginians! There is hope for America.
@Reverse flash “?” That’s about right for your response. 👌
@Reverse flash Are you on Telegram?
@chloe tea I never said anything abt facism don’t put words in my mouth
@Reverse flash Follow Seth Keshel. He’s got all of the dirt on election frâûd. It’s not a dog whistle
@Reverse flash ……….. you’re a waste of time to talk to lmao goodbye
McAuliffe: “I don’t think that parents should be telling schools what to teach!”
Parents: “Hey, Terry,…. Ya FIRED!!!!”
@Mitchell HodgemeyerThat should be beneath you. Why would you even say this, nothing I said indicated this in any way. Again, that should be beneath you.
Ricky Spanish, please explain your posting. Thanks.
@CJ Tymczak Not sure where you are getting your loony news. How soon we forget about the terrorist groups antifa and BLM backed by the Democrats. Burning and looting cities. Taking over Portland and burning police stations while killing innocent citizens
Meanwhile, Murphy is calling in the sedan’s with big trunks. 🚘
Virginia I’m honoured to say congratulation! And the rest can sing along with the Tune!
So when Kamala said that “what happens in this years election in Virginia is going to happen again in 2022 2024 and many years to come” I don’t think that she had blue states flipping red in mind 🤷🏾🤣
Reminds me of Haman’s gallows in the book of Esther. Evil gets hung on the devices it makes to annihilate the forces of good.
Love this 🇺🇲👌
And the lying media will never ask her about it
She thought that the greatest voter fraud apparatus in history was still a thing. Remember Ann Coulter, said, if Trump lost, that the right would never win another election. That is why the left is so surprised. they thought it was a done deal. We are either at war, or this is already over, andall of this is just a sh!t show for the plebes. Time will tell.
Every 14 year old girl in a Virginia public school feels a little safer today
@kingalleles maybe by the fact that a guy in a skirt can no longer go into her bathroom at school and rape her, after having done the same thing at another school, with the board trying to cover it up and calling her dad a domestic terrorist? that’d be something
But still not safe from Matt Gaetz.
Hmmm
@Carla Beckford lol. Cope harder leftoid
@Skelley-Priest and a rightoid like you allows Gaetz do as he pleases to girls because he’s a republican.
GotIt!😂😂😂
Kind of…The child sniffer-in- chief doesn’t live too far away.
Take control of the school. Parents should be heard and not ignored.
Yeah let’s put a whiny, idiot parent in every classroom. That’s what we need. Kids get ready!
@William Owens 🤡
@William Owens Doesnt matter if they are whiny or idiots or not its their kids period the ppl have spoken and being butt hurt doesnt change that reality
Mom and Dad have spoken.
We the people are in control of government, serve the public to our interests or get fired.
@John Cahill Wake up John.
@John Cahill John, not at all! I’ve seen it in the classrooms and in my nephews homework that comes home.
I’m a teacher who tutors private school and Public school children, it’s there!
I don’t have preference for right or left!
I like it when things are done right and well.
The USA is lagging behind in academics especially Math and Science, right around the time the curriculum changed that isn’t a coincidence!
@John Cahill And you used the right words “ Basic requirements for Math and English” that’s exactly what Common Core, makes American students, “BASIC”
I have children in Elementary, Middle, Junior and High school, who cannot read, write and spell properly, let alone have a good handle of Math.
These students are of all races and ages!
Research, CC and you will see the conflict of interest.
@John Cahill bro actually watch what’s happening
Watch what’s been said
Parents have been saying their kids are coming home ashamed to be white
You have to be out of your mind to not see what going on
Teaching in a way where white kids think it’s wrong or bad to be white
Is racism
It’s bad
Democrat voters have a real hard time watching what’s going on and comprehending it
It’s really sad to be honest
Exactly. When you mess with their kids, the claws come out. Leave the kiddos alone. Racism is taught, not inherited. Teaching white kids to be ashamed for being white IS racism. I just wished they’d teach them a proper education instead of CRT. THAT’S why GOP won, and thank goodness for that red wave. Let’s go, Brandon!
“We have tens of thousands of votes on hand in Georgia if needed.”——Stacy Abrams
Dead 💀!!!
Coming after PARENTS was the dumbest move McAuliffe could of done.
“Keep parents out of the classrooms” was his concession speech. lol
EVERYONE KNOWS THE BIGGEST THREAT in the Animal Kingdom is a MAMA Bear fighting for her cubs.
Thats why Marxist Leftists hate Gender. Male/Female
CALIFORNIA TEACHES YOUNGSTERS X RATED “SEX ED” …PUSHES PERVERSE LGBT DOCTRINE TO YOUNGSTERS…AND PUSHES RACIAL DIVISION CRT AS WELL…. DESPICABLE TO THE CORE….AND IT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS HERE..
@Scott B crt is teaching white children they should be ashamed of themselves, for the color of their skin. That is really messed up.
@Scott B You are such a joke!
They still haven’t realized that was the problem for them. They keep thinking about the amount of melanin people have as being the issue
“Sic semper tyrannis” (Thus always to tyrants!)
– Virginia state motto
Let’s go Virginia!!!! 💯
This is what you get, Dems, for getting yourselves in between parents and their children. Let’s go , Brandon!
All it took was one false political ad for you to believe that? It is way too easy for them.
Why is no one making a big deal about Winsome Sears being the first black woman Lt. Governor?? Oh that’s right. She has an (R) next to her name
awesome American !!!
I made a Big Deal….I Voted for her. I hope she stays the course and doesn’t stray like so many others have, If she does, She’ll make an awesome Governor in 4 years.
You nailed it O.P. ….same reason our Left media didn’t promote Larry Elder trying to save California from all this far left nonsense…. had he been a Democrat it would’ve been nothing but “first Black person to potentially be Governor of California” …nonstop…and if anyone resisted they would have been called a racist…..but Dems stuck with the WHITE RADICAL here.
Glenn Youngkin understands that “we, the people” means “we, the voters” and our children are OUR responsibility, not some government bureaucracy aka, the Board of Education.
ne he doesnt, the GQPhas you fooled
@SCATTERBRAIN your name suits you very well caucasoid
@SCATTERBRAIN
Speak English you sound like Joey.
Ok sycophant, maybe you need a three word chant
@SCATTERBRAIN does this help you cope with the common sense VA voted for? I know common sense is toxic to a leftist moron, but commenting on YouTube won’t makes things illogical again.
Wokeism is starting to see, hear and feel when WE DEPLORABLES, and some Dems, Had ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE
Terry McAuliffe says “there’s still votes to count” TRANSLATION: “and We’ll be counting them as soon as we finish printing them.”
