“Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for,” the president said.
President Donald Trump has backed a losing horse once more.
Democrat Ralph Northam defeated Republican Ed Gillespie in Virginia’s gubernatorial election on Tuesday, the first major loss for the GOP since Trump’s election last year. The president had thrown his support behind Gillespie on Twitter and attacked his opponent in the lead-up to the election.
On Tuesday night, however, Trump blamed the Republican for his loss.
“Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for,” the president tweeted the midst of his 12-day trip to Asia.

So funny! Ed Gillespie got thumped because he didn't "embrace" Trump? Gillespie ran a dirty and racist campaign. Trump should be proud of him.

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!
