Former governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe, will join the crowded Democratic primary to make a bid for his old job.
The 63-year-old McAuliffe is a former leader of the Democrat National Committee and is considered a prolific fundraiser for the party. He has as also been a longtime political adviser to President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary Clinton – a former U.S. senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate.
McAuliffe, the state’s governor from 20124 to 2018, will formally launch his campaign in Richmond. He will reportedly surround himself by several senior elected officials, all of whom are black – a nod to the inroads and relationships he formed with black politicians and the community during his time in office. McAuliffe will be vying against three primary opponents who are black.
Virginia law prevents the governor – currently Democrat Ralph Northam – from seeking a second consecutive term. McAuliffe would be only the second governor in more than 150 years to serve Virginia twice.
The Virginia gubernatorial primary will take place in June.
After what the communist Northam has done to this state (Commonwealth to be correct), I expect a Republican governor…..
At ten p.m. on election night, Trump was ahead by 400,000 votes in Virginia. A short time later, Virginia called it for Biden. Democrats are toxic for Virginia.
