While his successor Gov. Ralph Northam, recovers from the blackface scandal, in 2019, McAuliffe insists on "devoting his time and resources to helping elect Democrats to the General Assembly", instead of running in the 2020 elections.
Every seat in the state legislature is up for election this year, and Democrats are just a few seats away from gaining majorities in the House of Delegates and Senate.
