Barack Obama will campaign alongside fellow Democrat Terry McAuliffe as he competes to again become the governor of Virginia. McAuliffe announced the guest appearance Tuesday morning saying, "the stakes could not be greater."
McAuliffe is currently neck-in-neck with Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin, the former co-CEO of the Carlyle Group and a first-time political candidate. The polls show a dead heat between the two in a state that has primarily leaned blue for the last several elections.
Obama will join McAuliffe on Oct. 23 in Richmond in an effort to mobilize Virginians during the early voting period, which began several weeks ago and last through the 30th of this month. Election Day in Virginia is Nov. 2. Obama previously came out to support current Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam before he defeated Republican Ed Gillespie in 2017.
