Former US president Barack Obama was due to campaign Saturday in a neck-and-neck state election touted as a bellwether of public opinion

Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who is vying for a second term as Virginia’s governor, is battling Republican Glenn Youngkin ahead of the November 2 vote.

Biden won Virginia by 10 points in 2020 and the last time Republicans won a statewide race there was 2009. But a loss could spook moderates already nervous over the high price tag on the legislation, which they are trying to chisel down from a combined total of almost $5 trillion to around $3 trillion.

The first genuinely competitive election since Biden took office is expected to be a harbinger of the national political landscape ahead of next year’s midterm elections. McAuliffe, 64, has tried to make the race a referendum on twice-impeached former President Donald Trump. The former president has not visited, although he called in to a pro-Youngkin “Take Back Virginia Rally” on October 13 featuring former White House advisor Steve Bannon and other prominent promoters of Trump’s election fraud lies.

Help us diagnose insecurity, police, DSS, others beg editors - Daily Trust“I want to put a few questions out: should the media play the occasional successes of insurgents and bandits against that of our military? Shouldn’t the media deliberately give adequate publicity to our dedicated military against the bad guys? Media houses in Nigeria are trash. No single patriotism This is how they hv planned the movie,they are only playing by the scripts and since d media hv refused to be used they are putting very effort to quiet them rather than taking them to d war front with full protection to gv comprehensive information.Guess something is at stake🤡 This is correct ,the media talking about the military success will not generate revenue generating traffic for the media who rely on traffic for income , compare 2 when they talk about d success of the insurgent as this creates emotional response from the viewers & more traffic
