Terry McAuliffe

White men don’t walk through the world the way women and people of color do—which is to say, with constant pressure to over-perform.

And neither will pedantic fact checks about how the pedagogy they’re concerned with isn’t actually Critical Race Theory.

Democrats aren’t going to win over the majority of white women, and they need to stop trying and instead court the diverse coalition that can save this country from itself.

“Critical Race Theory” has become a 21st-century version of Republicans’ Willie Horton appeal—and it’s working.

The worst thing that could possibly happen is for the party’s conservatives to read McAuliffe’s loss as a sign that Americans are turned off by the Democratic agenda.
