Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin has won over Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe in Virginia’s gubernatorial election, as reported by AP and The New York Times. Polls closed in the state…
Polls closed in the state on Tuesday night. As the current results stand, Youngkin has drawn 50.9% of the vote with over 95% of polling stations reporting. McAuliffe has drawn 48.4% of the vote.
McAuliffe, who served as Virginia’s governor from 2014 to 2018, aimed to return to the office. State laws prevent incumbent governors from seeking consecutive terms. McAuliffe is close to both former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, having served as a leading fundraiser for both for decades.
The two candidates continued to poll evenly in the weeks leading up to the vote. Youngkin and McAuliffe clashed over matters ranging from Virginia’s economy to COVID-19 to education.
