Biden Hits The Campaign Trail With McAuliffe

CAREER POLITICIANS SUPPORTING CAREER POLITICIANS

Today, Biden joins Terry McAuliffe on the campaign trail as the former Virginia governor runs for office a second time.
- Together, Biden and McAuliffe have a combined 90 years as part of the insider Democrat establishment.
With the Virginia gubernatorial election still months away, McAuliffe must be worried about his poll numbers to already be calling in these types of favors.

VIRGINIANS ARE FACING RISING PRICES UNDER DEMOCRATS

Under Biden, Virginians are already experiencing higher prices for the goods and products they need.
Nationally, consumer prices jumped 5.4 percent annually in June, the fastest pace since 2008.
- In the South, consumer prices are up 5.8 percent.
Virginia gas prices have risen 28 percent under Biden, and are up 49 percent from where they were last July.
Housing has become less affordable, with home prices across the United States up 22.9 percent and rents nearly triple their typical rate.
- In June, the median home sales price in Virginia was up 17 percent compared with last year, with home prices growing twice as fast than in typical years.
Used car prices in Virginia, a key inflation indicator, rose over 17 percent – or nearly $3,900 – since last year.

DEMOCRATS ARE FAILING VIRGINIANS

Biden is squandering the economic recovery he inherited and pushing policies that are fueling skyrocketing inflation.
- Biden’s tax hikes would cost the average Virginian more than $7,600 over the next decade.
Like Biden, McAuliffe’s policies will hurt Virginian’s economic recovery at a time when workers and businesses are trying to get back on their feet.
Virginia has yet to recover two-thirds of the jobs lost during coronavirus.
- Virginia ranks in the top ten states for least amount of jobs recovered.
Under Democrat rule, Virginia ranks in the top half of states for its high cost of living.

MCAULIFFE IS AN INEFFECTIVE AND DISINGENUOUS POLITICIAN

As critical race theory is seeping into school curriculums across Virginia, McAuliffe dismissed the valid concerns of parents and claimed the issue was “totally made up.”
Under McAuliffe’s leadership, crime in Virginia spiked, with the state’s rate of homicides increasing by 43 percent, rapes increasing by 25 percent, and assaults increasing by 7 percent.
McAuliffe said he would have let a Democrat bill that would allow abortions up until the moment of birth to become law.
McAuliffe suggested it is easier for Americans to buy a gun than to vote, showing he has no clue what Virginia’s gun laws are.
McAuliffe was caught up in a Chinese cash-for-votes scandal, where he invited a major Chinese donor under investigation by the Justice Department to Hillary Clinton’s personal home in 2013.
McAuliffe was responsible for releasing violent criminals from prison and restoring the voting rights of violent former felons.
McAuliffe flip-flopped on repealing Virginia’s right-to-work law, vowing to repeal it after originally promising he would “never change” it.

MCAULIFFE AND BIDEN ARE FINE WITH NORTHAM’S BLACKFACE SCANDAL

In 2019, after a photo of Ralph Northam was released showing him either wearing black face or a KKK costume, both Biden and McAuliffe called on Northam to resign.
But later, when politically convenient, both Biden and McAuliffe backtracked.
- Biden praised Northam recently, saying, “You’ve done one hell of a job, doc.”
- When Northam gave his “friend” McAuliffe his endorsement, McAuliffe was “honored to have his support.”
