It’s almost gotten to the point in the Virginia gubernatorial race where Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin could just sit back and let his opponents do his work for him. Almost, but not quite.
We reported that polls are tightening due to McAuliffe’s loud speaking, and the panic is setting in for the Democrat nominee. Terry McAuliffe with just weeks left to go before Election Day, so much so that he’s bringing in who he feels would bring Democrat star power to the state like Co-President Jill Biden, election denier and failed 2018 Democrat Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, and former President Barack Obama in hopes that they can help drag him over the finish line.
And if not them, some Virginia Democrats are so worried they’ve even requested a change to the way absentee ballots are processed in an entirely predictable move at this late stage of the campaign.
Just today we learned that in addition to the above supposed “star power” Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will also be doing her part to try and get him elected, holding a fundraiser for the supposed “D.C. outsider” candidate … in Washington, D.C. two weeks from now.
But it was what she wrote in the invite that had some suggesting that she was inadvertently making a pretty strong case for Youngkin’s election. She said, “If a Trump Republican wins a state that Biden won by 10 points, it will essentially steamroll a path for Trump’s comeback”:

I mean, that actually isn’t a bad thing, is it? For Democrats it might be, but for the people who wish to help get this nation back to where it was heading before Joe Biden was elected the 2020 presidential winner, it is not. Or, if Trump is not your choice, some other person like him (perhaps Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who doesn’t back down from the media when they launch fake news attacks and who refuses to fall victim to the policy traps Democrats routinely set.
And speaking of Biden, we didn’t think he’d be making another appearance in Virginia on behalf of McAuliffe (his last one was in July), but he told a group of educators today that Biden would indeed be back to stump for him before Election Day:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — At an education roundtable, Terry McAuliffe said President Biden will be campaigning for him. “He will be returning. It’s a sure bet that he will.

That’s more great news for Youngkin, considering Biden’s declining popularity in the state, something McAuliffe was caught admitting during a recent video teleconference call.
Like I said earlier, Youngkin is pretty close to the point where he could sit back and relax while McAuliffe’s campaign continues to implode, but I’m sure he and his staff know that this is exactly the time to press your foot even harder on the gas pedal and not let up.
Election Day is November 2. Time is critical. Virginia must be saved from its blue foothold. As someone who lives in Virginia’s southernmost state, I can tell you that many of us would love to see McAuliffe lose. While we’re stuck with a Democrat governor for at least a little while longer, it’d be nice to see our neighbors to the north get back on the RightIf you understand my meaning, please follow the path.
