Obama stumps for Virginia candidate in race seen as referendum on Biden
The Peninsula
RICHMOND, Virginia: Former US President Barack Obama on Saturday joins a roster of high-profile Democrats campaigning for Virginia governor candidate Terry McAuliffe, just days ahead of a tight, closely-watched election.
Opinion polls show McAuliffe, who served as Virginia's governor from 2014 to 2018, and Republican Glenn Youngkin nearly tied in the countdown to the November 2 contest.
The race is seen as a barometer of the country's political direction after Joe Biden, a Democrat, won the presidency over Republican Donald Trump a year ago.
