Terry McAuliffe, former Virginia governor vying for old job, wins Democratic primary

Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe came out on top in Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday, the AP projected. He will face GOP nominee Glenn Youngkin in November.

Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe is still in the running to win back his old job, coming out on top among the five candidates competing in Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday, the Associated Press projected. "We have to build back a better, stronger Virginia and that's the challenge that we face. We cannot be complacent. We cannot be satisfied," McAuliffe said in his election night remarks. He made sweeping promises to Virginians should they send him to the governor's mansion for a second time this November, including reaching a $15 minimum wage for all workers within three years, investing $2 billion in education and getting every home in the commonwealth broadband access within two years. In November, McAuliffe will face Trump-endorsed Republican Glenn Youngkin, a successful businessman and political newcomer who won the nomination at the Virginia GOP's rank-choice voting "unassembled" convention in May.
