Jill Biden campaigns for Terry McAuliffe in Virginia as governor's race remains tight

Henrico, VA —  First lady Jill Biden hit the campaign trail on Friday for Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe, whose race for governor against Republican Glenn Youngkin appears tight with less than three weeks until Election Day.

"Virginia needs someone who will work toward progress, not refight the battles of our past. Virginia, you need somebody that you can trust," the first lady said, praising McAuliffe's track record when he served as governor from 2013 to 2017. 

"This race is about the next chapter of Virginia and our country," said McAuliffe, who spoke about  the economy, public education, COVID vaccines, voting and abortion rights on Friday night.
