Genuinely honest question. They were completely red for the presidential election, but elected a Democratic governor again. How is this possible?

    Josh Stein (the winning Democrat) has been a popular vote for years now in other local races. It wasn’t a given win, but he had a lot of backing historically. Robinson hasn’t been popular as Lieutenant Governor, and his latest stuff didn’t help. But the case another brought up is how he still got 40%. And that’s after Trump cut ties. The rural area amazes me sometimes.
