question:
(CNN) Whether Ed Gillespie likes it or not, the Republican's fate in the Virginia governor's race is tied to President Donald Trump. In a state that chooses a new governor every four years -- one year after the presidential election -- Trump was always going to be a dominant factor. But with two relatively bland candidates and a hyper-partisan national environment, Gillespie's campaign against Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam has revolved even more than usual around the President. Trump's popularity in Virginia mirrors his low national approval ratings. But Gillespie needs Trump's loyal base to turn out to vote. So he's adopted a strategy of airing ads that don't mention Trump but appeal directly to Trump's voters, warning of the MS-13 gangs and sanctuary cities, of which Virginia has none, and promising to keep up Confederate monuments.In Virginia, Democratic Lt.

 Question:You know, if he wants to do away with sequestration, that would be great for _," Northam said.
