Democrats had a good election night on Tuesday, and the left is especially ebullient about blocking statewide Republican control in Virginia. But a closer look at the returns shows that GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin performed better in state Legislature races than the headlines suggest. The Old Dominion is competitive for Republicans who aren’t in the mold of Donald Trump.
Mr. Youngkin threw his full political weight behind holding the House of Delegates and flipping the state Senate, part of why Democrats were so relieved he failed. The Democratic upper chamber has blocked his priorities such as a cut in the state’s corporate and personal income tax rate. The Governor staked the race on the economy, public safety and education. Gov. Youngkin’s affable personal style is the inverse of Mr. Trump’s.
