>she won in 2021 as Lieutenant governor, reason she lost is she spent over half her campaign ads on THE TRANS while the government shut down was going on and inflation is over 3% and people are giving up their animals because of SNAP cuts.
She won back then because she was just red and it was a red wave back then when Trump was going at it. She avoided Trump and MAGA, only in the last few weeks did you even see Youngkin next to Trump at the WH. Feds can't afford to live in the area when they lose their job so they move out anyways. MD actually had career fairs for fed workers so it looked like they were doing something, but that's because feds are largely blue voters anyways as it helps their job security to inflate federal spending anyways. Government shut down was the democrats fault for thinking they had any leverage when they didn't. Republicans voted numerous times to pass a clean CR that they had voted for in the past without issue, without any MAGA pork added to it. Now a judge ordered Trump to pay SNAP and he said he would comply if they should his lawyers how to do so legally since congress holds the power of the purse constitutionally speaking, and that took all the wind out of the democrats sails. They have only Obamacare subsidies left to fret about and that is such a small amount of people affected compared to other budget issues that the fed funds as whole. Democrats have nothing and all this VA gov will do is pass gun control (much of the state is already 2nd ammendment sancturies anyways) and weed shops. The upside is that once Youngkin is out, Trump can raid the state with ICE without worrying about optics like he has to do with Youngkin.
