Virginia Democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe, thanked his family and campaign team for their support.
Washington – One must now continue to count the votes, because every vote counts, said McAuliffe on Tuesday evening (local time). In forecasts, the candidate, supported by President Joe Biden, was behind Republican Glenn Youngkin – but had recently caught up. The majority of the votes have now been counted – but the final result has not yet been determined.
The election in Virginia a year before the congressional election is being followed closely in the country – it is considered a test of sentiment. A defeat for Democrat McAuliffe would also be a severe blow for President Biden. The Democrat has not yet admitted defeat to the Democrat Youngkin, who is supported by ex-President Donald Trump. One must continue to fight for issues such as health care or good education, said McAuliffe. “We will continue this fight tonight and every day in the future.” (dpa)
