Coming out to Virginia to support gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, Biden used his speech to slam his 2020 election opponent.

U.S. President Joe Biden mentioned his Presidential election opponent Donald Trump by name 24 times during a 17 minute speech Tuesday night, coming out to campaign for Terry McAuliffe as governor of Virginia.

Democrat McAuliffe, who previously served as governor of Virginia between 2014 and 2018, is up against Republican Glenn Youngkin, in what is turning out to be a tight race despite Biden’s 10 point lead in the State in the 2020 Presidential election. If successful, Youngkin will retake the state for the Republican party after 12 years of Democrat rule.

“You know Terry,” Biden told the supportive crowd. “But look: how well do you know Terry’s opponent? Well just remember this: I ran against Donald Trump. And Terry is running against an acolyte of Donald Trump.

“Terry’s opponent doesn’t like to talk about how very much now, but to win the Republican nomination he embraced Donald Trump,” Biden intoned.

The first thing Youngkin did when he launched his campaign was to call for election integrity, Biden told his audience.

“Why did he do that?” he asked rhetorically. “Because he wanted to hear Donald Trump. There was a price he had to pay for the nomination and he paid it. But now he doesn’t want to talk about Donald Trump anymore.”

“Well, I do,” he added emphatically, to cheers from the crowd.

Biden then went on to criticize Trump for having no integrity, particularly over Trump’s criticisms of Colin Powell and John McCain.
