“The off-year governor’s election in purple Virginia is almost always a win for the party that doesn’t hold the White House, but this year the race is showing how much Democrats have refused to learn their lessons from their massive culture-war losses of 2024. The battle in the Old Dominion has all the hallmarks of Democrats’ White House defeat in November. An uninspiring political-insider candidate, hand-picked by the party establishment, is running a campaign that relies on hype from friendly media. She’s dodging questions about hot-button cultural issues — including trans athletes in school sports and men [sic] in girls’ dressing rooms — and betting she can coast to victory on resistance-fueled backlash to President Donald Trump.” (10/05/25)
