Biden calls on DNC to give money to Virginia Democrats as Youngkin fundraising soars

President Joe Biden has requested that the Democratic National Committee give $1.2 million to Virginia Democrats after Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's fundraising soars. 

According to The Washington Post, Biden made this request after records showed that Youngkin's PAC raised $5.9 million by the end of June, which is a record for the Virginia governor.

Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC head Dave Rexrode described the motive of the Democrats as being in "full panic mode."

“They are desperate, with no vision for the Commonwealth; only far-left Virginia Democrats would look to D.C. and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for help,” Rexrode told the Post. 

“Virginians are with Gov. Youngkin, they support his commonsense agenda that’s providing tax relief, empowering parents and strengthening public safety," he continued. 

Youngkin is hoping to flip the Virginia Senate from majority Democrat to Republican, as all of his endorsed state legislative candidates in contested primaries notched easy victories.

“Time and time again, President Biden has made it abundantly clear that he is committed to not just electing Democrats at the top of the ticket, but down the entire ballot, and this investment is further proof,” DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said, according to The Daily Wire.

“We are proud to make these unprecedented investments in Virginia and across the country that will not only help Democrats win in 2023, but will build on and expand the infrastructure we need to reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris next year," the statement concluded.
