Biden hits trail for McAuliffe in test of his political brand
| President Biden is set to hit the campaign trail for the first time since becoming commander-in-chief on Friday with former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), posing a test for Biden’s political brand ahead of the 2021 and 2022 elections.
Biden and McAuliffe, who have been friends for over 40 years, will appear together in the Democratic stronghold of Arlington, Va. The campaign stop will not only be an opportunity for the two centrists to take a victory lap after their 2020 and 2021 primary victories, but also for Biden to sell his administration’s agenda to the Virginia electorate ahead of November’s gubernatorial election, where McAuliffe is running against Republican Glenn Youngkin. |
