Former President Barack Obama will campaign for Terry McAuliffe and Virginia Democrats ahead of the November elections, the gubernatorial nominee announced.
"The stakes are so huge," McAuliffe said on MSNBC's"Morning Joe.""If people don't understand, they come out in presidential years, but they have to come out in this off year because literally their lives depend on it." McAuliffe said Obama was campaigning for him on Saturday, but his campaign later clarified in a statement that the event will be held next Saturday on October 23.
"The President is unpopular today, unfortunately, here in Virginia, so we have got to plow through," the former governor said on a virtual call with supporters.Obama is one of the biggest names in Democratic politics and has long been able to garner considerable media attention and engage the party's base. Obama won Virginia twice, too, by 6 percentage points in 2008 and nearly 4 percentage points in 2012.
