In the final days of Virginia’s neck-and-neck campaign for governor, seemingly the entire Democratic Party is mustering to support Terry McAuliffe, while Republican Glenn Youngkin is happily going it more or less alone.
“Glenn Youngkin is his own man, and he doesn't need to bring in all the outside talent that McAuliffe is bringing in,” said Rick Michael, the GOP chairman in Chesterfield County, south of Richmond.
Adrienne Elrod, a Democratic strategist who ran surrogate strategy for both Hillary Clinton and Biden’s presidential campaigns, said the contrast between the two campaigns shows Democrats have a “wide swath of diverse and popular surrogates” while Republicans are “relegated to relying on a handful of Trump disciples.”
McAuliffe, he added, is “needing to rely on other people to lift his campaign when Glenn Youngkin is standing tall.” In past governor contests, a Republican candidate might rely on a top Republican governor from another state to come in and vouch for him, a role Christie played in 2014 as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
