So Gillespie's won--very narrowly, about 1% over Corey Stewart. He'll take it, of course, but it's not much of a victory. Very disappointing

One of many top reasons for our initial (and immediate) Lean D rating for VA GOV is the heavy GOP burden of Trump--deeply unpopular in VA.

VA GOP is in trouble again. Heavy frontrunner Gillespie is struggling, barely ahead of Stewart. Too soon to call. Good news for Northam.

Partly, VA GOV(D) primary was national Ds v state Ds. So this is a big win for state D officials, who almost unanimously backed Northam.

Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam wins VA GOV (D). Not even vaguely close. Boy, were the polls wrong AGAIN. (Except Northam's pollster).
