Glenn Youngkin won 53 percent of suburban voters to Terry McAuliffe\u2019s 47 percent.That number is flipped from November 2020 when Biden carried suburban voters in the state by eight points. I sat down with moms in suburban Virginia to ask what made the difference.KAY GREENWELL, VIRGINIA VOTER: This is the first year in my life that I\u2019ve ever put a yard sign out for a candidate and I did this year. I\u2019ve never done that before. Never in a million years.BROWN: So how many of you voted for Biden in the general election, raise your hand.BROWN (voice over): But now all four suburban Virginia moms, a Democrat, two independents and one unaffiliated say they voted for Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, in Tuesday night won that seat in Virginia.BROWN (off camera): Do you think suburban moms like you basically put Youngkin into office?SHAWNNA YASHAR, VIRGINIA VOTER: Yes, absolutely.DANA JACKSON, VIRGINIA VOTER: One hundred percent.BROWN (voice over): And there\u2019s one key issue all four of these women say played a huge part in their choosing a Republican, feeling heard about their child\u2019s education. They spend months fighting to get kids back into school and now they want more done to make up for learning loss from the pandemic.GREENWELL: The school closures were really hard for a lot of kids and one of my kids in particular really suffered when schools were closed.YASHAR: It affected my family dynamic. It affected my social circles. It affected every part of me that the kids couldn\u2019t go to school. And so I had to figure out what can I do to make sure that that never happens again.BROWN (off camera): And you feel like even right now not enough is being done to address the learning loss and you think that is a crisis.JACKSON: Yes, absolutely. Yes, it\u2019s part of the emergency.YASHAR: We think our kids are in crisis. The learning loss is real. So we\u2019re in a situation where our kids are really far behind and they need a lot of help. They need a lot of additional tutoring. They need a lot of additional time after school to help catch them up and they\u2019re still not focusing on that.It\u2019s like a situation where you\u2019re in front of your house and the driveway is really dirty, but the house is also on fire and you\u2019re using the hose to hose off the driveway instead of putting out the fire on the house.BROWN (off camera): How much did that factor a deal for you, the CRT debate and everything?JACKSON: definitely the education, the learning loss was number one for me. Everything else was below that.YASHAR: Mandates and CRT did not influence my decision at all.JACKSON: Yes.BROWN (off camera): How about for you, Sandra, Kay?GREENWELL: No. Mine was all about the school closures.BROWN (off camera): How did Terry McAuliffe handled the education part of everything?GREENWELL: Well, parents were very angry during school closures at the teachers\u2019 unions. And for me the nail in the coffin was on his last day of campaigning. He brought the head of the teachers\u2019 union to his rally and she spoke and it was like someone just poked me right in the eye and said, you think you want to have a say in your education, well, you\u2019re not going to.UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Glenn, he listened to us. He met with us. He sent his wife to meet with special education parents and they spent a lot one-on-one time with parents.BROWN (off camera): Dana, do you think that\u2019s why Glenn Youngkin won Virginia because he made education such a centerpiece of his campaign?JACKSON: I do. We felt listened to for the first time or I did.BROWN (off camera): If Terry McAuliffe had made it more of a centerpiece, made listening to parents, listening to their concerns, made that more of a centerpiece of his campaign, would you have maybe voted for him instead or were there other concerns you had?GREENWELL: He seemed very sort of dismissive of the general voting public. JACKSON: Terry seemed to be campaigning everywhere but Virginia.JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Shop for democracy, for Virginia.BROWN (voice over): They say they were also off put by former President Obama when he came to Virginia to campaign for McAuliffe and called education issues \u2018phony trumped up culture wars\u2019.BROWN (off camera): Offensive in what way?JACKSON: I just feel like they\u2019re really tone-deaf. They\u2019re really dismissive and kind of blanket statement.UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It reminded us of the school boards.YASHAR: They weren\u2019t looking at the concerns on the ground. The concerns on the ground where we were really concerned about our kids\u2019 education and the Democrats were not listening to that.BROWN (off camera): And what about like in Washington with the Democrats\u2019 agenda, and the back and forth, the two bills not being passed, did that have any sway at all on you.JACKSON: No.YASHAR: Nope.BROWN (voice over): Another problem in their view, the Trump factor.YASHAR: We wanted to move on from the Trump administration.JACKSON: I felt like it was really tone-deaf to just discount parents and the whole educational struggle and to make it about Trump all of the time. I mean, there\u2019s a place for that but he never really talked about what he was going to do to improve things. He just talked about how bad everyone else was and that was a real turnoff, especially, leaving our kids in the dust.BROWN (voice over): But they admit, had Trump stumped in Virginia for Youngkin, that would have been a problem.UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And I told if you bring Donald Trump in Virginia, I\u2019m not helping you. BROWN (voice over): And they say they believe the way once Biden- supporting suburban moms helped propel Republican Glenn Youngkin into an unlikely victory in Virginia could happen again across the country for the 2022 midterms that parents continue to feel ignored about their kids\u2019 education.BROWN (off camera): What do you think the message is to Democrats from the election results in Virginia?UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You\u2019re going to keep losing if you don\u2019t pay attention to parents.YASHAR: They neglected us, they neglected our kids and they ignored the parents.BROWN (off camera): And so they\u2019re going to have to re-earn your trust?YASHAR: Absolutely.BROWN (off camera): And that\u2019s going to take awhile.YASHAR: It\u2019s going to take a long time.JACKSON: It\u2019s just going to take a long while.BROWN: And CNN has obtained a copy of an analysis by the McAuliffe campaign of their loss on Tuesday. It found that education was not a decisive issue in the governor\u2019s race, but it was an important weakness that the McAuliffe campaign suffered from day one and never improved on it.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
