A Bad Omen for Biden’s Party Ahead of Midterms

Joe Biden’s plane touched down outside Washington this morning just as Republican Glenn Youngkin took the stage to declare victory in the governor’s race in Virginia, a state the president won by 10 percentage points exactly a year ago.

In New Jersey, where Biden outperformed Donald Trump by an even wider margin in 2020, Democratic Governor Phil Murphy is locked in an unexpectedly tight contest with Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli.
