McAuliffe Abruptly Cancels Virginia Beach Rally on Election Eve as Youngkin Draws Large Crowds as Both Candidates Barnstorm State
The campaign of Democrat candidate for Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe abruptly canceled an election eve rally in Virginia Beach set for 12:45 p.m. Monday, offering no reason as to why. McAuliffe has struggled to draw enthusiastic crowds as the rival Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin has held large, boisterous rallies of supporters across the state. Youngkin has a rally scheduled for Monday evening in Virginia Beach.
WVEC-TV reported the cancellation by McAuliffe (excerpt):
Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe were both initially scheduled to hold events in Virginia Beach on Monday, Nov. 1, but a spokesperson for McAuliffe said he would no longer be having one in Hampton Roads.
Instead, McAuliffe will be campaigning today in a different portion of the state.
