VA-GOV: Harris to campaign for McAuliffe this week in diverse Virginia county
(CNN)Vice President Kamala Harris will campaign for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Harris will headline an evening rally on Thursday in Prince William County, the most diverse county in the commonwealth, according to the 2020 census. Democrats in Virginia are hopeful that the vice president will be able to engage key Democratic voters ahead of the November 2 election.
McAuliffe is currently locked in a tight race with Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin, with Democrats concerned the same voters who turned out to deliver President Joe Biden and Harris a 10-percentage point win over former President Donald Trump in 2020 have either yet to be fully engaged in the off-year election or are politically exhausted by a series of high-stakes elections.
While Election Day is on the first Tuesday of November, hundreds of thousands of voters have already cast early vote ballots, putting pressure on both Democrats and Republicans to spur engagement in the campaign now.
