Glenn Youngkin: Republican set to win Virginia governor race - US media - superadmin - 11-03-2021 Republican Glenn Youngkin is set to be elected as Virginia's next governor in a major upset, according to US media projections. He is 2.7 points ahead of Democrat Terry McAuliffe, with more than 95% of votes counted. Mr McAuliffe, who served as governor from 2014-18, saw his opinion poll lead vanish in recent weeks. The ballot has been widely seen as a referendum on Joe Biden's presidency, and defeat will unnerve the Democrats. Mr Biden won by 10 points in Virginia just a year ago. In a speech to cheering fans, Mr Youngkin called his victory a "defining moment". - More -
