Moments ago, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie threw his full support behind Donald Trump:
.@EdWGillespie: "Republican voters have nominated Donald Trump for president, and I will vote for him..."

Gillespie says election not only decides White House, but Supreme Court "for a generation or more"

“The Trump-Gillespie-Stewart platform would be nothing short of a disaster for Virginians,” said Emily Bolton of the Democratic Party of Virginia. “Ed Gillespie has serious questions to answer for voters about why he supports Donald Trump and his dangerous stances on women's rights, immigration, and treatment of Muslim Americans."
While Corey Stewart is Trump's campaign chair in Virginia, Gillespie had been silent for months on the Presidential race.
With Gillespie's newfound support of Trump, Virginians are left with several questions:
- Does Gillespie support Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border?
- Does Gillespie agree with Donald Trump that women should be punished for seeking abortions?
- Does Gillespie agree with Donald Trump that Islam hates America and that Muslims should be banned from traveling to the United States?
