Former CEO Glenn Youngkin wins Virginia GOP governor nomination after last challenger concedes. New York Times "Youngkin is a political blank slate, with no record in elected office to attack.

"His private wealth — reportedly more than $200 million — will allow him to compete against former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a prolific fundraiser."

Former private equity chief Glenn Youngkin became the Republican nominee for Virginia governor Monday night after his closest rival, business executive Pete Snyder, conceded while votes were still being tabulated.

Youngkin, 54, the former co-CEO of The Carlyle Group, elbowed past contenders with far more political experience to lead the ticket for a Virginia GOP that has failed to win a statewide election since 2009.

In the sixth round of counting, Youngkin passed the required 50 percent threshold.

"Virginians have made it clear that they are ready for a political outsider with proven business experience to bring real change in Richmond," he said on Twitter.

Youngkin says "the last eight years have been crushing" for Virginians, and he warned that if McAuliffe were given another term, Democrats would end the state's right-to-work law that prohibits compulsory union membership. If that happens, "we can kiss our business environment away," he said.

Republicans believe they have a better chance of winning statewide this year than at any time in the last decade, after Democrats, who took full control in Richmond in 2020, passed sweeping liberal legislation on gun restrictions, and many other issues.

With Democrats set to choose their slate of candidates in a June 8 primary, the Virginia race will be watched nationwide as a bellwether for the 2022 congressional midterm elections. New Jersey is the only other state electing a governor this year, but the state is so solidly blue that Virginia is seen as posing the bigger test for both major parties in the aftermath of the Trump presidency.

McAuliffe raised $36 million for his 2013 election and over $9.9 million during the past two years. Youngkin has already spent $5.5 million of his own money since entering the race in late January.

FAIR: Biden's One Sensible Impulse Thwarted by His Open Borders Overlords

President Reverses Decision and Increases Refugee Numbers    (May 3, 2021, Washington, D.C.) – Less than three weeks ago, President Joe Biden announced that he would maintain the 15,000 cap on resettlement of refugees due to exigent circumstances that include a global pandemic and its economic effects on American workers. Within hours of that announcement, President Biden beat a hasty retreat from his position in the face of pressure from radical open borders advocates on the far left fringe of his political coalition. Today, he more than quadrupled the refugee resettlement cap to 62,500 for this year. "What we are witnessing is the incredible folding president," commented Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). "Since Day One of this administration, we have seen President Biden capitulate to demand after demand of open-borders radicals, leading to an unprecedented surge of illegal migration and a growing humanitarian crisis. Now with resources spread thin by his border policies, and state and local governments straining to cope with the needs of hundreds of thousands of migrants pouring across the border, the president is deepening the crisis with a massive increase in the refugee cap." Media reports indicate that today's decision was made after the administration conferred with "stakeholders" in this policy. "As with every other immigration-related decision made since taking office, today's White House announcement absolutely ignores the fact that the American people are the primary stakeholders, and that their interests and security are undermined by a massive increase in refugee admissions even as our borders remain out of control," Stein continued. "With each passing day, and each immigration policy move that is made, it is clear that a radical fringe, dedicated to eliminating all limits on migration and all enforcement of our laws is in control of our immigration policies, to the detriment of the health, security, and interests of the American people," concluded Stein.
