Biden mocks Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin for not campaigning with Trump: 'Is

he embarrassed?'

President Joe Biden mocked Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin for not campaigning with former President Donald Trump, asking, "What's he trying to hide? Is there a problem with Trump being here?"

Biden made the comments during a campaign rally for Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe in Arlington, Virginia, on Tuesday night, just a week out from the November 2 election where McAuliffe will face Youngkin in his bid for a second term as governor.

"Terry's opponent has made all his private pledges of loyalty to Donald Trump but what's really interesting to me is that he won't stand next to Donald Trump now that the campaign's on," Biden said. "Think about it. He won't allow Donald Trump to campaign for him in this state. And he's willing to pledge his loyalty to Donald Trump in private, why not in public? What's he trying to hide? Is there a problem with Trump being here? Is he embarrassed?"




Youngkin, a relative political newcomer, is a former private equity executive who, unlike McAuliffe, has never held office or faced Virginia voters before.
