Biden, in late bid to boost McAuliffe in Virginia governor's race, calls GOP's Youngkin "an acolyte of Donald Trump"
CBSN
Arlington, Virginia — President Joe Biden framed the Virginia governor's race as a repudiation of his predecessor, tying the Republican candidate to former President Donald Trump as he campaigned for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in what's become a tight and increasingly bitter campaign.
No Republican has won statewide office in Virginia since 2009, and Mr. Biden carried it by a comfortable 10 percentage points in 2020. Yet polls have shown McAuliffe tied with Republican former business executive Glenn Youngkin with the election a week away and the president's own popularity on the decline.
In the final days of the race, both candidates are focused on turning out their base supporters, with Republicans pressing culture war issues - prompting a debate over banning books in high school classrooms - and McAuliffe, who previously served as governor from 2014 to 2018, hammering Youngkin for his ties to Mr. Trump.
Bill Gates may not strike you as an actor, certainly not a comedic one. But he can be a funny guy, as evidenced by his 2018 cameo on "The Big Bang Theory." Even when he was arrested at the age of 21, his mugshot smile makes you think there was a lot more going on in that head than computer calculations. What was the offense? "It was driving from Albuquerque up to Seattle that I got three very serious speeding tickets," he said.
The Trump administration on Saturday imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, while adding an additional 10% levy on goods from China. The salvo, which President Trump had threatened even before returning to power earlier this month, underlines his willingness to use trade policy even against some of the U.S.' largest economic allies.
