Here's a picture of the police escort that Trump got to go golfing (again) this weekend.

What’s on the agenda as we gear up for another day?
Results are in from the Virginia special primaries…
Congratulations to @RalphNortham. Let's go win this thing—united. Let's take back the House and ensure VA remains a firewall against hate.

A huge reason why Northam won tonight: AA voters. Whether it's skepticism towards "Bernie wing" of party, I'll leave to others to debate.

I supported @tomperriello for #VAgov because we’d fought together for consumers. But we were lucky to have 2 great candidates running.

Per the Washington Post,
…Republican Ed Gillespie held off a surprising challenge from Donald Trump acolyte Corey A. Stewart for that party’s nomination.
… Stewart refus[ed] to concede and [said] he wouldn’t support Gillespie, a man he derided throughout the campaign as “Establishment Ed.”…
Stewart’s strength on the Republican ballot was the biggest surprise of the evening. He had been running as more Trump than Trump, making provocative statements and campaigning on the issue of preserving Confederate monuments. Polls had shown him with a fraction of Gillespie’s support, but a low turnout among Republican voters gave Stewart’s committed base an outsize influence, and Wagner drew significant votes in Hampton Roads that might otherwise have gone to Gillespie.
Overall, Democrats turned out in far greater numbers than Republicans. About 540,000 voters cast ballots in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, while just over 360,000 voters cast ballots on the Republican side, with nearly all precincts reporting…
Gillespie’s narrow win, coming from a small and apparently unenthusiastic electorate, suggests that he faces a major challenge as he tries to both woo Stewart voters and attract moderates and independents while he fights a highly motivated Democratic opposition…
Northam is the Democrat who called Trump a 'narcissistic maniac.' Winning strategy for Dem primaries? https://t.co/in8mjiXJpq
