MADISON, Va - Virginia will elect a new governor this November, one of the first state-wide races in the post-Trump era.
Fealty to Trump is emerging as a litmus test for Republican hopefuls looking to appeal to the former president's devoted base to win next month's nominating battle. But conspiracy theories about election fraud are likely to turn off many moderate voters needed to win the Nov. 2 general election, said Frank Luntz, a veteran Republican pollster.
Under state law, incumbent Democratic Governor Ralph Northam can't run for a second, consecutive term. Several Democrats are looking to replace him, including Terry McAuliffe, who held the office from 2014 to 2018. The Virginia state Senate censured Chase in January in a bipartisan vote over what it called her "conduct unbecoming of a Senator" including her "patriots" comment. The censure resolution also noted that Chase said Democratic state Senator Jennifer McClellan, who is Black and also running for governor, could not represent all Virginians because she helps lead the Black Caucus.
Rich Anderson, chairman of the Republican Party in Virginia, declined to comment on Chase when asked if he had concerns about her ability to win a general election. In recent polls conducted by YouGov and Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia, Chase leads her rivals by almost double-digit margins heading into next month's race for the Republican Party's nomination. She has 19% and 17% support respectively in those polls, with her nearest rivals polling at 10%.
In the suburban enclave of Alexandria in northern Virginia, communications specialist Steve Fong, 53, said he finds the stolen-election narrative offensive, and Chase too extreme. “I could not even consider voting for her," he said.
