Youngkin Claims McAuliffe Is Bringing In Big Names To ‘Take the Spotlight Off of His Failed Record’

Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin is taking aim at his opponent, former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D), over his use of big names to try to cover up his “failed policies.”

Youngkin told Fox News Monday, “The sun is clearly setting on 👤Terry McAuliffe’s 43-year political career and we’re all watching it. And he’s doing anything he can to just try to survive.”

He added, “It’s Virginians recognizing that lower taxes and the best schools and the best jobs and safe communities are the issues at hand. And McAuliffe doesn’t want to talk about any of that because he’s on the wrong side of all of it.”

He predicted Republicans are “going to sweep our statewide races in Virginia,” adding, “We’re going to make a statement that’s going to be heard around the country.”

Youngkin claimed McAuliff is “going to bring in everybody he possibly can to try to take the spotlight off of his failed record, his failed policies.”

Former President Barack Obama (D) campaigned for McAuliff over the weekend.

“When you’ve got someone in your corner who has shown that they will work for you, who has a track record of accomplishments, then you have to go out there and work for them. Not because everything suddenly is going to be perfect but because it’s going to be better,” Obama
