What Went Down During The 2021 Elections

That’s a great point, Alex — Trump’s inability to post on most mainstream social media platforms also prevents him from intervening in the race in ways candidates such as Youngkin might not like!

To your point, Nathaniel, I also think it’s harder for Democrats to run a national campaign against Trump because he’s banned from most mainstream social media platforms and he’s not in the White House, so he’s largely out of the public eye.

You could not be more right, Jacob, when describing the aesthetic Youngkin has tried to hone. It’s definitely a throwback in part to the GOP days of old, which is why I don’t understand why McAuliffe didn’t try and go after him for being wealthy and out of touch with voters? That was a very effective line of attack against now-Sen. Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election and strikes me as something McAuliffe/Democrats could have used more to their advantage?
