The 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election was won by Glenn Youngkin in an enormous upset. For months, the liberal mainstream media had said the Virginia would never vote for a Republican and that Creepy Clintonite Terry McAuliffe would win in a rout, but they had no idea how much BACKLASH and OUTRAGE the Democrat party had stirred. All over the great Commonwealth, people were fed up with the far-left agenda of Joe Biden, the most unpopular and hated president in American history. While Joe and Terry were pushing Critical Race Theory, Virginians realized that Democrat socialist policies had wrecked the economy, skyrocketed inflation, and created shortages of anything and everything. Then, in an act of total desperation, Terry and his campaign disgracefully tried to slander Glenn Youngkin as a Neo-Nazi. The people of Virginia were not fooled by these lies, however, and Glenn won BIG, proving that a massive RED WAVE had begun for Republicans across the country! |

The 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election will be held on November 2, 2021, to elect the next governor of Virginia. Incumbent Democratic Governor Ralph Northam is ineligible to run for reelection, as the Constitution of Virginia prohibits the officeholder from serving consecutive terms.
The Republican Party held a convention on May 8, 2021, at 37 polling locations throughout the state.[1] On May 10, businessman Glenn Youngkin was declared the Republican nominee.[2] The Democratic Party selected its candidate in a primary election on June 8,[3] with former Governor Terry McAuliffe emerging as the winner.[4] Teacher Princess Blanding is running under the newly formed Liberation Party.[5] The winner of the 2021 gubernatorial election is scheduled to be sworn in on January 15, 2022.

Republican convention
The Republican nomination process for the 2021 elections was the subject of a lengthy and acrimonious debate within the Republican Party of Virginia.[58][59] On December 5, 2020, the state Republican Party voted to hold a convention instead of a primary by a vote of 41 to 28.[60] State Senator Amanda Chase initially indicated that she would run as an independent,[61] but later decided to seek nomination at the convention; on the day of the convention, she acknowledged that if she did not win the nomination, she may reconsider and run as an independent, although she eventually decided against this.[62] Faced with pressure from the Chase campaign and activists to return to a primary, the state committee debated scrapping the convention on January 23, 2021. These efforts were unsuccessful and the party reaffirmed their decision to hold a convention.[63] On February 9, 2021, the Chase campaign sued the Republican Party of Virginia, arguing that the convention is illegal under COVID-19-related executive orders signed by Governor Ralph Northam.[64] The Richmond Circuit Court dismissed the Chase campaign's lawsuit on February 19, 2021.[65] The Republican Party of Virginia announced on March 26, 2021, that seven gubernatorial candidates had qualified to appear on the convention ballot.[66] On April 11, 2021, the state Republican Party Rules Committee voted to tabulate the ballots by hand; three days later, however, the committee reversed itself and decided to use a vendor's software-based tabulation method.[58]
On April 20, 2021, five candidates (Amanda Chase, Kirk Cox, Sergio de la Peña, Peter Doran, and Glenn Youngkin) participated in a forum at Liberty University in Lynchburg.[67] Two candidates, Octavia Johnson and Pete Snyder, did not attend the forum.[67][68]
The state Republican convention to select the party's nominees for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general took place on May 8, 2021,[59][58] in "unassembled" format,[58] with ballots to be cast remotely at up to 37 locations statewide[59] using ranked-choice voting.[58] The complex process fueled internal party disputes.[69] Up to 40,000 people were anticipated to become delegates, although not all would necessarily cast votes.[58] Local Republican Party leaders control the application process to become a delegate, decide who can participate (voter registration in Virginia does not include a space to indicate party affiliation), and select the convention voting site.[69] In the preceding Virginia Republican gubernatorial convention, 12,000 participated.[58]
Orthodox Jewish Virginia Republicans asked the party to allow absentee voting for religious reasons (May 8 is on the Jewish Sabbath), but the State Central Committee initially voted down the request, failing to achieve the 75% supermajority needed to change the rules.[70] However, the Virginia GOP ultimately reversed course and allowed those with religious objections to vote in the May 8 convention via absentee ballots. Republican candidates Kirk Cox, Peter Doran, and Glenn Youngkin had criticized the previous decision to not accommodate Orthodox Jews.[71]

General election
On August 26, the Republican Party of Virginia filed a lawsuit to disqualify McAuliffe from appearing on the ballot in November. The suit alleges that McAuliffe did not sign his declaration of candidacy, which is needed to qualify in the primary and general election.[117] It was found that the declaration of candidacy was missing his signature, although it includes two witnesses' signatures. The suit also alleges the witnesses violated state law by witnessing a signing that didn't occur.[118]

On July 12, Glenn Youngkin announced he would not take part in the July 24 debate hosted by the Virginia Bar Association because of a donation made by one of the moderators, Judy Woodruff.[119][120] Woodruff had made a $250 donation to the Clinton Foundation relief fund after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The foundation is run by Hillary and Bill Clinton, who are close allies to Terry McAuliffe.[119] On July 28, after discovering that Youngkin would participate in an 'election integrity' rally at Liberty University, McAuliffe declined a debate at the same university.[121] On August 2, Youngkin declined participation in The People's Debate.[122] The two candidates pledged to two debates; one on September 16 and one on September 28.[123]
First debate
Youngkin and McAuliffe met at Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia on September 16, 2021, one day before early voting began.[124] The debate was hosted by USA Today Washington Bureau Chief, Susan Page.[125]
The debate started with discussion over a recent COVID-19 mandate President Joe Biden signed requiring federal workers, employees of large companies, and contractors to be vaccinated.[126][127] Youngkin doubted if Biden had the power to authorize the mandate, and supported personal choice for receiving the vaccine. McAuliffe supported the mandate and accused Youngkin of spreading "anti-vax" rhetoric.[127] Youngkin denied the claim.[123] McAuliffe also supported requiring vaccines for students over the age of 12.[128] McAuliffe has also repeatedly made false statements about COVID-19, often inflating the number of cases.[129]
The discussion moved to climate change, where Youngkin stated he would use all sources of energy to address climate change without "putting [the] entire energy grid at risk for political purposes." McAuliffe called for clean energy in the state by 2035 and stressed the idea for the state to be a production hub.[123]
The discussion then moved to abortion, specifically the recent Texas Heartbeat Act signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott (whom endorsed Youngkin).[130] When asked whether or not Youngkin would sign a similar bill, Youngkin stated that he would not sign the bill, and that he was pro-life and supports exclusions in cases such as rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is endangered. He also stated he supports a "pain-threshold" bill that would ban most abortions at the point when a fetus can feel pain, which proponents of this type of law define as 20 weeks.[123] In addition, Youngkin stated McAuliffe was "the most extreme pro-abortion candidate in America today".[130] In response to Youngkin, McAuliffe stated he was a "brick wall" on women's rights and would protect a woman's decision over abortion and supports reducing the number of doctors needed to certify a third-trimester abortion from three to one.[130] McAuliffe falsely stated that Youngkin wants to completely ban abortion.[131]
The next discussion topic was over election integrity. After supporting an "Election Integrity Taskforce", Youngkin stated he does not believe there has been "significant fraud", and stated the issue of fraud as "a democracy issue". Youngkin stressed that he believes that "Joe Biden's our president" and criticized the withdrawal from Afghanistan. McAuliffe took note to Donald Trump's endorsement of Youngkin, calling him a "Trump wannabe".[127] Both candidates stated they would concede the election if the other came out on top.[130]
The final discussion topic was over the economy. McAuliffe attacked Youngkin on his top economic advisor, Stephen Moore, who advised Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Youngkin defended Virginia's right-to-work law.[130]
Second debate
Youngkin and McAuliffe met at the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce on September 28, 2021.[132] The event was hosted by Chuck Todd, moderator of NBC's Meet the Press. Less than a week before the debate, one of the panelists, Michael Fauntroy, withdrew from the debate after tweets against the GOP and Evangelicals were found.[133]
On the discussion topic of COVID-19, Youngkin and McAuliffe reiterated their stances on the vaccines. Youngkin stated he believed in mandates for vaccines for diseases measles, mumps and rubella, but not for COVID-19, saying the "the data associated with those vaccines is something that we should absolutely understand the difference between this vaccine."[134] Youngkin said people should get vaccinated against COVID-19.[134]
During the debate, Youngkin noted that Trump was regularly mentioned by McAuliffe, who again called Youngkin a "Trump wannabe."[134][135] When asked, Youngkin stated he would support Trump if he were to become the Republican nominee in 2024.[135]
Approximately 15 minutes into the debate, third party candidate Princess Blanding, who was in the audience, disrupted the debate, screaming that her exclusion from the debate was "unfair" and claiming that McAuliffe would not win the election.[136] After being escorted out by security, she claimed that being excluded from the debate was racist and sexist, and that it constituted "censorship".[137]
