I'm not sure he won for any reason other than the enthusiasm gap caused by
a) Terry McAuliffe's lack of a central reason for his candidacy, and his gaffes, (admittedly one of those was regarding school governance)
b) the typical disillusionment with the President's party in an off-year election, and the press's chosen storyline re Biden's "failures"
c) great turnout in the rural precincts which in conjunction with a slight drop off in the Democratic margin in the suburban precincts, sufficed to put Youngkin ahead (by a margin that was not as great as you guys seem to be currently remembering, 50.6%-48.6%)
