Northam got elected VA Lt Governor in 2013 by defeating Chopra in the Democratic Primary by a 54-46

and Jackson(A black conservative) in the November General Election by a 55-45 percent margin.

In the 2013 VA Lt Gubernatorial Election Democratic primary, Aneesh Chopra was leading Northam in Public opinion polls, Why did not The Virginia Democratic Primary establishment and Grassroots campaign aggressively for Aneesh Chopra? Chopra served as the National and State Technology Officer under Obama and Kaine. Why did not McCauliffe endorse Chopra? If McCaullife stayed neutral or endorsed Northam, he is the worst human being.
If Chopra won the 2013 Democratic Primary for VA Lt Governor, He would have been the first Indian American Lt Governor of Virginia and the first Indian American Governor of Virginia in 2017.
