[Epoch Times November 04, 2021](Reported by English Epoch Times reporter Mark Tapscott/Compiled by Takasugi) Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Sears and Jason Mia When Jason Miyares is sworn in in Richmond in January next year, it will mark the first time since 2009 that Republicans have become the governor, lieutenant governor and state attorney general of Virginia.
And just a year ago, Joe Biden surpassed Trump (Trump) by 10 percentage points in the state’s presidential election. But on Tuesday (November 2), the trio of Republican candidates in the Virginia election won a subversive victory. The latest official statistics show that the three Republican candidates defeated their Democratic rivals by an average of 1.66 percentage points.
Although Democratic President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Barack Obama have participated in many campaigns in Florida and publicly supported former Governor Terry Mai Terry McAuliffe (Terry McAuliffe), but in the end, his competitor Yang Jin still won by a narrow margin.
In addition, the Republican Party regained a majority of seats in the Virginia House of Representatives with a narrow 51-49 advantage, and in the process regained 7 seats from the Democrats.
The results of the Virginia election enabled the Republican Party to achieve an overwhelming national victory in the 2021 election and laid the foundation for the 2022 midterm elections. The midterm elections will determine Biden’s control over Congress during the last two years of his term.
Harris said in McAuliffe’s final campaign speech before the election that the results of this election will “foretell what will happen in 2022, 2024, and beyond in other parts of the United States.” If Harris knew in advance what would happen on Tuesday, she might not have said that.
In New Jersey, which has firmly supported the Democratic Party for many years, the current Democratic Governor Phil Murphy (Phil Murphy) and Republican Governor candidate Jack Ciattarelli (Jack Ciattarelli) is also very fierce. Until the morning after the voting ended, the votes of the two were still evenly matched.
In the end, Murphy narrowly won, thanks to the belated votes from Bergen County, a region with a large percentage of Democratic supporters. Polls conducted before Tuesday showed that Murphy’s approval rating has risen by double digits.
Another powerful indicator showing that the Republican grassroots is gaining widespread victory across the country is that in legislative elections in multiple states, Republican candidates have won seats previously occupied by Democrats.
In addition to the reversal in Virginia, Republicans in Texas also took three state legislative seats from Democrats, one of which was in San Antonio, a district with a large Hispanic population. Biden won the constituency with a 14% advantage in 2020.
On Tuesday, two seats in the New Jersey State Assembly were transferred from Democrats to Republicans. Earlier this year, the Republican Party regained state legislative seats in Connecticut and Iowa. The Republican Party also elected a new member of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
The chairman of the Republican State Leadership Council (RSLC) Lee Duncan said the victory at the state level “further proof that the socialist policies being promoted by Democratic-controlled Washington are moving the districts they claim to fight for away from them.” .
In an interview with The Epoch Times, campaign strategists said that elections are almost never determined by a single factor, and the November 2, 2021 election is no exception.
According to Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action for America, Virginia is the starting point of a national movement, as public schools instill “critical racial theory” in children. Race Theory, CRT), the parents were outraged and they launched a nationwide campaign in Virginia.
Anderson told The Epoch Times: “Last night, Virginia led the country and took a crucial first step in rejecting the leftist cultural and economic agenda.” “When parents see how policies will hurt their children They will take immediate action when they meet with the community, and we have witnessed this situation firsthand in Virginia.”
Anderson added: “Elected officials across the country should take note: Americans of all political factions are fed up with left-wing social and cultural extremism, and they voted for the same.” He warned in June that “criticism” Critical Race Theory (CRT) will be a decisive issue.
Brian Darling, a Republican strategist and former adviser to Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, told The Epoch Times that the election results “show that the so-called’awakening politics’ of the Democratic Party ( Woke Politics has driven away vacillating voters”. Just look at Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema and West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin to see how Democrats treat moderates. Most Democratic voters are center-left. “
Darling said: “We have heard that the Democrats have learned the wrong lessons from the election. The leftists argued that they just need to pass more spending bills, and the American people are wrongly thinking that public education for children is taking place. Turn to a “critical racial theory” that hates the United States.”
Darling predicted: “So, for the Democratic Party, the midterm elections in 2022 will be a political disaster. Because its agenda has been controlled by progressives, and they are dragging the Democratic Party into the abyss.”
