Jill Biden hits campaign trail Friday in Virginia, New Jersey
Fox News
First lady Jill Biden heads out on the campaign trail Friday in support of the Democratic nominees in the only two states in the nation to hold gubernatorial elections this November, including Terry McAuliffe in Virginia.
While Murphy enjoys a double-digit lead over Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli in the reliably blue Garden State, McAuliffe is facing a much stiffer challenge against Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin in the commonwealth, a one-time premier battleground state that’s trended toward the Democrats the past decade but remains competitive.
McAuliffe, who’s running for his old job, holds a 51%-46% advantage over Youngkin among likely Virginia voters in a Fox News poll conducted Sunday through Wednesday and released Thursday. And an average of all of the latest surveys in the race indicate a razor-thin, lower-single-digit edge for McAuliffe in a state where the GOP hasn’t won a statewide election in a dozen years.
