The Virginia gubernatorial race could lead to former President Donald Trump’s return if the Democratic contender loses — that’s according to Terry McAuliffe himself.

Polling favors McAuliffe 49% to 45% for Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin, a recent poll among 802 likely voters found. During a recent MSNBC interview, host Joe Scarborough noted McAuliffe’s campaign strategy, that is to one day say he’s winning and then opine on falling numbers the next day.
