Virginia: Former RNC Chair Ed Gillespie Wins Narrow Victory in Governor Primary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Virginia, former Republican National Committee Chair Ed Gillespie won
a narrow victory over his Trump-supporting challenger in the Republican
primary for the Virginia governor's race. His challenger, Corey Stewart,
ran his campaign on his loyalty to President Trump. While Gillespie was
expected to win by a wide margin, he ended up winning by only a few
thousand votes. He'll now face Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam in
November.
