Democrat Ralph Northam was projected to win Virginia's race for governor Tuesday over Republican Ed Gillespie, as Democrats appeared headed for a big night across the board in races for lieutenant governor, attorney general and several key seats in the House of Delegates, based on exit polls and early returns.
Virginia's election has been closely watched nationwide as a test of President Donald Trump's status and impact on the tenor of politics in every state.
From Korea, Trump wasted no time lashing out at Gillespie. "Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for" the president tweeted before the final tally was in.
