Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia's gubernatorial election. Tuesday's race was the biggest test of President Joe Biden and his party's strength since Democrats won back the White House in November 2020 and the Senate in January.
McAuliffe, a longtime fixture of Democratic politics, got his start raking in eye-popping sums as a fundraiser for former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s. After stints as chair of the Democratic National Committee and co-chair of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, McAuliffe served one term as Virginia's governor from 2014 to 2018.
