New York Times

MANASSAS PARK, Va. — The high-stakes race for governor of Virginia entered its final stretch with Glenn Youngkin and Terry McAuliffe trading accusations of sowing division, as voters appeared closely divided over returning a Democrat to office or electing a Republican to lead their state for the first time in more than a decade.

The size and atmosphere of dueling events during the last weekend of campaigning before Election Day on Tuesday reflected the trends in the most recent polls. Mr. Youngkin, the Republican candidate, greeted crowds of more than 1,000, while Mr. McAuliffe, the Democrat, hustled through sparsely attended events from morning to night.

Mr. McAuliffe, who served one term as governor from 2014 to 2018, has displayed a rising sense of urgency lately, dispatching some of the Democratic Party’s biggest stars to campaign for him and push people to vote early. In 11 hours on Saturday, Mr. McAuliffe traveled more than 120 miles, making eight stops in six cities amid a whirlwind day of campaigning in which he urged supporters not to be complacent.

“We are substantially leading on the early vote, but we cannot take our foot off the gas,” Mr. McAuliffe told a crowd on Saturday in Norfolk, where he met with labor leaders who were planning to spend the day knocking on doors.

3. I can't speak for the person above you but here is my huge problem with the article

CRT isn't being taught in schools, it is a flat out, bald faced, racist lie. And nowhere, not in a single, solitary place in that entire article does the dingbat who wrote the piece point that out. I would bet my pay checks for the rest of my life that if a Democratic candidate were telling racist, bald faced lies from their campaign podium that the NYT would tell us that they were doing exactly and precisely that.

4. I wonder about you "brooklynite"

So Youngkin "greeted" crowds of a 1,000, while McAuliffe had sparsely attended events...give me a break. This article is from, the supposedly democratic leaning, NYT...mud will be on their face when the Democrats kick ass.
