Hillary came to Northern Virginia and endorsed Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe and long time friend. Former President Bill Clinton is expected to join McAuliffe on the campaign trail in its final 3 weeks.
Hillary spoke of divisiveness as she endorsed McAuliffe, according to Politico.com:
She laid out a case for him that rested strongly on women’s equality, gay marriage and rejecting the “scorched earth” politics that have defined Washington over the past several months. Though she didn’t directly call out Republicans, it was clear who she was talking about when she said some politicians have been operating in an “evidence-free zone”, “do not believe in America’s progress” and are trying to “hijack” the future
.
The Saturday Falls Church event was Hillary’s first campaign event in nearly 5 years. She looked refreshed, energized, and ready to roll. Meanwhile, according to most news sources, national republicans as well as many state republicans have given up on the Cuccinelli campaign. Some point to the McDonnell scandal. Others blame the government shut down.
