RICHMOND, VA.—Voters in Virginia and New Jersey gave Democratic gubernatorial candidates large victories Tuesday and sent a clear message of rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump . “Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for,” Trump said in a tweet after Northam won. “And I know they too are rooting for our new governor to succeed because we all love the commonwealth of Virginia,” Gillespie said. Thank you, President Trump,” Connolly said. Democrats have won every statewide election since 2009 and now have won four out of the last five gubernatorial contests.
