Re: “Republican candidate, Ed Gillespie, shunned the support of POTUS, Donald J. Trump.”
Maybe that’s why Gillespie got a higher percentage of the Virginia vote than Trump did?
2017 - Gillespie - Virginia - 45.0%
2016 - Trump - Virginia - 44.4%

First of all, the comparison is of marginal utility, because it involves qualitatively different electoral situations, and second, the difference is very minimal in any event—amounting to nothing more than statistical noise—and certainly not sufficient to prove any point regarding relative support for President Trump (or lack thereof)...
What does that have to do with anything
ah, but what were the turnout numbers? 45% vs 44% of what?
Gillespie hates Trump.
Everybody knew that.
He is a Never-Trumper.
Establishment, McConnell GOP all the way.
One of the reasons he lost.
