I’m a Virginian, and I support Northam, but I think Gillespie will win. The electorate in non-presidential election years tends to have a conservative bias and although Northam is above Gillespie in polls, it’s really too close to be comfortable

Unfortunately, I think that Northam is most likely to win. Virginia is a blue-leaning swing state on the cusp of turning solid blue. A considerable chunk of the state's population resides in the heavily Democratic northern portion of the state. Both of those things give the Democratic candidate a considerable advantage in the race. There's always the possibility of an upset where Gillespie pulls off a win, but that possibility is an unlikely one. If a shocking upset does happen, it would likely signal a larger national trend to the right, as no Republican candidate has won the governor's mansion in The Old Dominion since 2009. It would be significant, but still unlikely.
