RNC Statement on Biden Campaigning in Virginia

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on Biden campaigning in Virginia for Terry McAuliffe.

“With rising crime and soaring prices for everything from gas to groceries, Terry McAuliffe knows that Joe Biden is failing Virginians. Unlike Biden and McAuliffe, Youngkin will put parents and job creators first by strengthening public safety in communities across the Commonwealth, cutting red tape for small businesses, and ensuring every Virginian has a say in their child’s education. With an unprecedented amount of Republican enthusiasm, Virginians are ready to reject Terry McAuliffe and Joe Biden this November and turn out for Glenn Youngkin and Republicans up and down the ballot.” – RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
