Joe Biden will be in Arlington Friday evening to campaign for Virginia Democrat Governor hopeful Terry McAuliffe.
Biden supposedly won Virginia by 10 points in 2020 against Trump (after a 300,000 vote spike out of no where) but he can’t even draw a decent-sized crowd.
According to the WaPo reporter on the scene, the vibe at the McAuliffe rally is much like a “pre-pandemic event”
So what’s the excuse for such a small crowd if Biden is the most popular president ever?
The setup in Arlington where Pres. Biden will campaign for Terry McAuliffe in a couple of hours.
Vibe here is very much like a pre-pandemic campaign event. Upbeat music. Ice cream. Campaign people walking through w/clipboards.

Terry McAuliffe posted a close-up video of the crowd to make it look like it’s a packed house.
