His remarks come after Democrats won elections from coast to coast on Tuesday, including the two gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.
Virginia Democrat Ralph Northam easily won his race over Republican Ed Gillespie, invigorating a party that had been largely cautious in the lead-up to the election.
Castellanos said Gillespie still lost after he successfully “got out the Trump vote” because he lost support of women in the suburbs, which underwent what he called a “feminist surge.”
