President Biden is campaigning in Virginia for gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, who held the office from 2014 to 2018. The Democrat is locked in a tight and increasingly bitter race with Republican Glenn Youngkin, a former business executive.
Biden drove that theme home during a rally in Arlington, just across the Potomac River from Washington, mentioning the former president by name more frequently than Youngkin and drawing a direct line from last year’s presidential race to next Tuesday’s election.He charged that Youngkin “not only embraces some of the essential lack of character, he endorses Donald Trump’s bad ideas and bad record.”
