Politics—the concept, not the American spectator sport—comes from ancient Greek word politiká, or “affairs of the cities,” and is defined as “a set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups.”
One group that will need to work together over the next several months is the Republican ticket for Virginia’s next governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Yet just a little over a month ago, many Republicans were unsure that a unified ticket would actually happen.

But Tuesday night, the Republican ticket came together publicly for its first rally in Northern Virginia along with the backing of Gov. Glenn Youngkin. The team projected a message of unity at a packed venue that drew hundreds of supporters.
