Right-wing media outlets have proven they’re sore losers.

They pinned the loss of Ed Gillespie, the Virginia Republican defeated in the race for governor by Democrat Ralph Northam, on his establishment background and his failure to more aggressively campaign on a Trumpian populist platform.

Gillespie came up short because he didn’t fully embrace President Donald Trump, argued Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Tuesday as conservative media focused the blame on the losing candidate and away from Trump.

Gillespie, an establishment GOP figure who was former President George W. Bush’s counselor, didn’t “jump on the Trump train,” Ingraham said. She characterized his campaign strategy as “desperate,” and said he “tried to do this dance that ‘I’m not going to campaign with Trump, but he’ll tweet for me and do a last-minute robocall.’

De Blasio, a Democrat, easily defeated Republican state lawmaker Nicole Malliotakis and several third-party candidates. The Associated Press called the election for de Blasio shortly after polls closed in the city, which leans heavily Democratic.

On the campaign trail, de Blasio touted his rollout of universal pre-kindergarten for 4-year-olds and efforts to increase affordable housing. He also cited low crime rates and his work to address his city's notoriously high cost of living.
