Virginia Race Poses Real Risk to Democratic Agenda

“The Democratic Party’s fortunes are increasingly tied to someone who’s never served a day in federal office: Terry McAuliffe,” Politico reports.

“Losing ground in a Virginia gubernatorial campaign once seen as a near-lock for Democrats, McAuliffe has sought to nationalize the race — calling out congressional inaction and President Joe Biden’s waning popularity as he tries to mount a return to an office he held four years ago.”

“If McAuliffe loses, it could put a chill on Democrats’ agenda and prompt hand-wringing over whether the party failed to boost him enough in a difficult race against Republican Glenn Youngkin.”
