Who is Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia?

Key Facts

McAuliffe has rolled out policy after policy, aiming to both burnish his progressive credentials and argue because Virginia's legislature is now in Democratic control, something he did not enjoy during his tenure, he will be able to get more done the second time around.
Running on a platform which prioritizes rebounding from the Covid-19 pandemic when it comes to both the economy and access to quality health care, housing and educational opportunities, McAuliffe has firmly stated he is pro-vaccine requirements and lambasted his opponent, Glenn Youngkin, over the Republican's opposition to mandating Covid-19 vaccines for state workers.
A STAPLE IN DEMOCRATIC POLITICS McAuliffe, who served as governor of Virginia from 2014 to 2018, has been a staple in Democratic politics for decades.
"Donald Trump will use this as a major victory for himself, to help himself for the 2022 midterms and this will be the kick-off for his 2024 race," McAuliffe told CNN's Jim Acosta on "Newsroom."
