VOA: Virginia’s Gubernatorial Election Reflects US National Politics

 

[VIDEO] Who would have thought we'd hear from Voice of America on this blog. They talk about the developments regarding the gubernatorial election in Virginia.

McAuliffe was first elected Governor of Virginia in 2013 and in that year the President of the United States was Barack Obama and they were both Democrats. That's unusual as in Virginia usually the Governor's office party goes opposite of the current President.

And another thing about this race is that it might be a "bellwether" as far as where American could go in 2022. How might the balance of power in Congress could go? Perhaps how could other gubernatorial races could go around the country.

What happens in Virginia determines the strategy for next year. Election Day for Virginians is not that far away at this point!
