It appears Republicans are trying to take advantage. Against that backdrop, McAuliffe and Black Democratic surrogates are racing across Virginia before Tuesday’s election to drive up Black turnout and support. In interviews with POLITICO, more than a dozen top Democrats involved in the Virginia campaign - from strategists on the ground to House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) - expressed concern that Black support for McAuliffe is weaker and less enthusiastic than it could be in a razor-thin race in a blue-trending state. Mailers attacking Democrat Terry McAuliffe for being “on the side of abusive police officers” are popping up in Virginia voters’ mailboxes, urging support for third-party hopeful Princess Blanding - and highlighting a fierce battle for Black votes in the final days of the tight governor’s race.
