Obama to Campaign for Terry McAuliffe in Virginia Gubernatorial Race

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) tapped former President Barack Obama to campaign for him as current President Joe Biden’s poll numbers sink to the lowest of his presidency.

Biden hit the campaign trail to support McAuliffe in late July. Since then, his approval rating has crashed to 38 percent, a Quinnipiac poll revealed last Wednesday. Obama remains popular and influential among members of the Democrat Party.

The Virginia election, always held the year after a presidential vote, will be closely watched by the Biden administration due to a longstanding tradition of Virginia voters rejecting the gubernatorial nominee of the party that controls the White House. In last year’s presidential election, Biden took home the state’s 13 electoral votes after winning 54 percent of the state’s vote. This prevailing trend briefly stopped in 2013 when McAuliffe won Virginia’s governorship one year after Obama’s reelection. McAuliffe could not run for reelection in 2017 because Virginia law prohibits its governors from having successive terms.

This election is the first gubernatorial race where Virginia voters have increased access to early in-person and mail-in voting after the Democrat legislature overhauled its voting laws in 2019, Politico reported.
