‘Biden seeks DNC’s aid as Youngkin’s record fundraising puts Virginia Dems in “Full Panic Mode”.’
President Joe Biden Supports Virginia Democrats Ahead of State Elections
President Joe Biden has made a significant move to bolster the Virginia Democrats ahead of the upcoming state elections. He has requested the Democratic National Committee to provide $1.2 million in funding to support their campaign efforts in the commonwealth. This decision comes in response to the impressive fundraising efforts of Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, who has raised a record-breaking $5.9 million through his political action committee.
High Stakes for November Elections
The November elections in Virginia hold immense significance as Republicans currently control the state House of Delegates, while Democrats control the state Senate. The outcome of these elections could potentially shift the balance of power. This has prompted President Biden to take action and provide support to the Virginia Democrats.
Dave Rexrode, the head of Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC, responded to Biden’s request, stating that it reflects the ”far left in Virginia is in full panic mode.” He emphasized that Virginians support Governor Youngkin’s commonsense agenda, which focuses on tax relief, empowering parents, and strengthening public safety.
A Potential Turning Point for Virginia
If Republicans manage to secure victories in both the Senate and House, it would enable Governor Youngkin to advance more conservative-backed initiatives. This would mark a significant shift in a state that had been trending blue until Youngkin’s surprise win in 2021.
Biden’s Commitment to Supporting Democrats
DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison highlighted that President Biden’s financial support for Virginia Democrats aligns with his broader policy of backing Democrats across the United States. Harrison emphasized that this investment not only aims to secure victories in 2023 but also to strengthen the infrastructure needed for the re-election of President Biden and Vice President Harris in the following year.
The decision to allocate funds to Virginia was influenced by the request made by Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Tim Kaine, who sought Biden’s assistance due to Youngkin’s sustained popularity in the commonwealth.
Sen. Kaine expressed the urgency of the situation, stating that if Republicans gain control of the General Assembly, they have pledged to restrict voting rights, pass an abortion ban, and roll back gun safety measures.

Dave Rexrode emphasized Governor Youngkin’s dedication to Virginia, stating that his campaign has built an unprecedented effort to maintain control of the House and flip the Senate.
