Barack Obama will join him at Richmond on Saturday. Stacey Abrams will campaign with him at Charlottesville on Sunday. The race is tight according to the polls.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The most recent polls have put McAuliffe and Youngkin in a dead heat, with Monmouth University finding both candidates at 46%. The Democrat still leads in the RealClearPolitics polling average, 48.8% to McAuliffe&#8217;s 47%.<\/p>\n<p>Amid tense school board meetings in Fairfax and Loudoun counties that have drawn national media coverage, McAuliffe declared in a debate, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.&#8221; Fox News polling has shown that most Virginia likely voters &#8212; and 57 percent of Virginia parents &#8212; disagreed with that statement, and Youngkin has pressed McAuliffe on it. While McAuliffe claimed that Youngkin took the statement out of context, the Youngkin campaign launched an ad showing McAuliffe standing by the statement seven times.<\/p>\n<p>Both Youngkin and McAuliffe have pledged to pay Virginia teachers more, investing in education. Youngkin has faulted McAuliffe for lowering standards in the state&#8217;s schools, however. While McAuliffe served as governor between 2014 and 2018, he signed a bill ordering a deemphasis on standardized test results in accrediting Virginia public schools. While 88 schools were denied accreditation under the old standards in 2017, no school has been denied accreditation since the new standards went into effect in 2018.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has the rest of the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/president-biden-to-campaign-with-terry-mcauliffe-in-virginia-toss-up-election\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terry McAuliffe will campaign with Joe Biden in Arlington a week before the election.
