#74 - Election Night Recap: Youngkin Wins and Democrats Look Lost

Election Day has come and gone in the contentious Virginia gubernatorial race and to the surprise of many (not me), first-time candidate Republican Glenn Youngkin has likely defeated former governor Democrat Terry McAuliffe. While neither candidate has conceded, as of late Tuesday evening, Youngkin has a 96,000 vote lead with 93% of precincts reporting. Therefore, on this special election night podcast, I analyzed what happened and break down the county-level results that show Youngkin made considerable in-road in the Virginia suburbs like Loudon and Prince William counties while maintaining strong leads in traditionally conservative rural counties.
