Terry McAuliffe, a DNC fundraiser and Clinton flak who defiled the Governor of Virginia office from 2014-2018, is gunning for a second term this November.
In the Democratic primary, he bested five challengers and spent a whopping $15 million in a contest where he was favored to win. Against political newcomer and Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin, however, he is struggling to negatively brand his opponent and make his attacks stick.
Is “Fast Terry” ready for primetime? Not so fast. From blunders to fact checks, the 72nd Governor of Virginia isn’t a shoo-in for his old job in Richmond. And his early missteps are making Democrats nervous.

Who greenlighted the dancing? Who advised him to post this bizarre Independence Day tweet? And there’s this beauty. He tweeted, “Call me crazy, but I think it should be easier to vote than it should be to buy a gun.”
