VA governors can’t serve consecutive terms, so there’s no re-election pressure. And he couldn’t run for any other office as a Democrat in VA, anyway, given how the black vote (~50% of the Democratic primary vote) would be monolithically against him. Plus, the guy’s an economic conservative and social liberal - a George HW Bush-type politician. So this scandal, which has put a ceiling on his political aspirations, means he doesn’t have to compromise with Democratic liberals any more. Him staying in office will be a real bonanza for the GOP in VA.
