President Donald Trump has backed a losing horse once more.

Democrat Ralph Northam defeated Republican Ed Gillespie in Virginia’s gubernatorial election on Tuesday, the first major loss for the GOP since Trump’s election last year. The president had thrown his support behind Gillespie on Twitter and attacked his opponent in the lead-up to the election.

On Tuesday night, however, Trump blamed the Republican for his loss.

“Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for,” the president tweeted the midst of his 12-day trip to Asia. Click here to donate for free tuition University Education for the poor and you will richly be blessed by God

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

Earlier Tuesday, Trump had urged Virginians to vote for Gillespie and said he would “totally turn around” what he called “high crime and

poor economic performance” in the state. The president also recorded a robocall expressing his support, saying the Republican would “help make America great again.”
Gillespie, for his part, appeared hesitant to link himself with the White House, and Politico notes that campaign officials were worried Trump’s historically low approval numbers would mobilize Democrats if the president was more involved.

This is the second time in the past few months Trump has backed a losing candidate.

The president notably deleted several tweets supporting Luther Strange, an Alabama senator who lost his bid to be the Republican nominee to retain his seat despite a massive outpouring of support from the White House.

Why Pres. Trump slams losing candidate Ed Gillespie

RICHMOND, Va. – President Donald Trump took to Twitter from his trip in Asia to downplay the democratic sweep during the Virginia governor’s race. Ralph Northam was projected as the winner with six percent lead, with only Northern Virginia remaining, a county that typically goes blue.
Trump, who did not stump for Ed Gillespie, punted fault towards the Republican candidate.
“Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for,” the tweet read. “Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!”’
Trump was the first president since Watergrate-era Nixon to not stump for the Virginia Republican governor nominee.

Vice President Mike Pence stumped for Gillespie, as did former President George W. Bush. In the summer of 2007, Gillespie joined the Bush administration at the White House, and served as counselor to the president until he left office.
The race for the governor’s mansion likely marks the most consequential race of the year: a battle that will provide an early look at how the first 10 months of the Trump presidency have reshaped American politics.
Governor-elect Ralph Northam had a more positive message.
“Tonight we proved that we’re stronger when we value and fight for one another. Onward to Richmond!,” he tweeted.

Why- No mention of Donald Trump at Ed Gillespie's last rally before Virginia governor's election

FAIRFAX, Va. — Ten speakers, one hour, and not one mention of President Trump during Monday evening’s closing campaign rally for Ed Gillespie, Republican nominee for governor in Virginia.
There was a passing reference to Vice President Mike Pence, even former President George W. Bush.
But one after the other, Republican VIPs took the microphone in the packed, overheated basement of the Fairfax County GOP headquarters to encourage voters to turn out for the party ticket in Tuesday’s crucial election. One after the other, nary a word about Trump, not even his name.
Nobody even offered the political bromide about Trump needing a partner he can work with in Virginia to move the commonwealth and the nation forward.
“I don’t think that you necessarily have to focus on one person who’s in power to make your case for any office,” said Jeff Dove Jr., a Republican who has volunteered for Gillespie and is running for Congress next year in Virginia’s suburban Washington 11th Congressional District, held by Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat.
Trump is broadly unpopular in Virginia, a commonwealth he lost in 2016 to Democrat Hillary Clinton, particularly here in the suburbs of Northern Virginia.
That electoral battleground, where Gillespie chose to finish the final full day of his campaign, could determine the outcome of what has turned into a close race with Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam.

In that sense, ignoring Trump, who offered Gillespie encouragement via Twitter on Monday while traveling in Asia, was strategically sound.
Gillespie, and the cascade of Republican bigwigs who revved up the crowd for him, preferred to talk kitchen-table issues, like transportation, education, and jobs.
“Yes, 21 policy positions. He’s got so many policy positions he’s got to open another website,” said Jill Vogel, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. Added Gillespie, with a chuckle: “I have 21 specific, detailed policy proposals. You may have heard that.”
It was ironic, given how Gillespie has surged against Northam down the stretch and grabbed the momentum by cribbing from Trump’s appeals to the cultural anxieties of suburban and exurban whites. Vows to crack down on Hispanic gangs and illegal immigration, his support for preserving Confederate statues, and his opposition to kneeling during the national anthem have dominated his advertising campaign.

But Gillespie didn’t give these topics much airtime Monday, as he urged volunteers to give it their all, just one more day until the polls close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, keeping the focus on his policy white papers to improve Virginia’s quality of life. The contradiction didn’t phase Gillespie’s fervent supporters, who also appeared to keep to a Northern Virginia script that left out talk of Trump.
“The greatest thing he’s done is putting his 20 policy positions together; No. 1 being the economy,” said Paul Kyle, 73, of Fairfax.
“Virginians are really suffering right now with lack of jobs and lack of making health care affordable. That’s what they’re focused on, they’re not focused on these other issues,” said Joan Smutko, a retiree from Arlington.
A win by Gillespie would nevertheless be a victory for Trump and his agenda, and a deal a devastating blow to the Democrats.

That’s especially the case given Northam’s structural advantages: Trump’s low numbers, nationally and in Virginia; the state’s Democratic lean in recent statewide races; and the fact that the party not in the White House usually wins, granted it didn’t work out that way four years ago.
Gillespie was to hit the road one more time, on Election Day, for a tour of polling precincts around the commonwealth, before attending his hoped-for victory party in Richmond Tuesday evening.
Joining him Monday on the final regular day of campaigning in Fairfax were Republican National Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, Virginia GOP Chairman John Whitbeck, Fairfax County Chairman Matt Ames, Fairfax County Supervisor John Cook, and others.
"The eyes of the nation are on Virginia. And you know what? The eyes of the nation are on Fairfax County," said Pete Snyder, chairman of the Gillespie campaign.
