The Democratic Party’s fortunes are increasingly tied to someone who's never served a day in federal office: Terry McAuliffe.
The effort has taken a gubernatorial race that amounts to a bellwether for Democrats’ popularity writ large and twinned it to their legislative agenda — if one fails, so too could the other. That bill is stalled out because Pelosi and other senior Democrats have yet to clinch a deal on the social spending bill with two key holdouts, centrist Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema . And despite public pronouncements of action by the end of October — when Congress will again be forced to address expiring highway and transit programs — Democrats appear far from even an outline of an agreement.
“Terry losing is catastrophic for the agenda,” said one longtime Democratic aide, summing up the views of the party’s most vulnerable members on condition of anonymity.
If he loses I will have more faith in election integrity
In 2017, Northam was leading by 3.3% in the RCP average. He ended up winning by 8.9%. Terry McAuliffe is currently leaving in the RCP average by 2.2%..
He’s not gonna lose
Click bait
Vote 🗳
Anything that puts a “chill” on Biden’s agenda helps working Americans.
This reminds me of all the panicky stories Politico ran about CA Gov Newsom, but when he crushed the recall by 25 points … crickets about what the defeat meant for Republicans. Guess being bought by a German right wing tabloid publisher has an impact on coverage!
Twenty articles a day from on the same topic…amazing!
About as much substance in this ‘shock’ as the recall ‘shock’ from California. The GOP were crushed.

Yes they’re really twisting the optics on this one, but I’d rather have dems taking it seriously than getting complacent
Clearly two of his most pressing concerns in the closing days of the 2021 campaign is the huge and growing apathy and fatigue among his own democratic supporters.
I don't care who wins, just get stuff done that actually affects us in large ways, like does it really matter? Glen, Terry, doesn't make a difference in the slightest. They are both probably corrupt politicians anyway.
Media is , as usual, trying to create a story that actually doesn't exist.
„hand-wringing“ Really?
Now do 'When Youngkin loses, VA saved itself from a tRump kiss ass that would have destroyed VA'
“DEMS IN DISARRAY”—-
From heatherscope and burgessev’s keyboards to God’s ear. Hopefully it will put a chill on the radically progressive agenda the Dems are trying to ram through.
He won’t lose. Virginia is far too blue because of all the folks in NoVa leaching off of Washington DC. I voted for TerryMcAuliffe last time but he is so transparently molding himself like Play-Doh to parrot the new progressivism he’s unrecognizable. So fake and dishonest.
Politico has become a tabloid rag.
Sounds like Politico wants a lost for democrats so they will finally have the talking points they looking for.

McAuliffe is part of a dying wing of the Democratic Party. Young people aren’t excited about these corporate democrats in any way. And that’s who McAuliffe represents.
Or they could be fucking insane and the country is just trying to find some moderate balance somewhere in the ethos of America's politicos.
Just stop. Why not say, 'If Youngkin wins, it will mean the end of democratic process in Virginia'. Stop putting the load all on Dems. TFG won in 2016, in part, because media wouldn't hold him responsible... for anything.
VOTE 🗳 for TerryMcAuliffe
Get out the vote, Virginia!
