On Wednesday, President Joe Biden blamed Terry McAuliffe’s defeat in Virginia’s governor race on the “very conservative people who turned out to districts,” suggesting that his Build Back Better plan wouldn’t have made a significant difference.

“I think it should have passed before Election Day, but I’m not sure that I would be able to have changed the number of very conservative folks who turned out in the red districts who were Trump voters, but maybe, maybe,” Biden said at the White House when asked if McAuliffe would have won had the $1.75 trillion social spending bill cleared.

Biden replied to a reporter who pointed out that he had won Virginia 10 points in the 2020 presidential election. But… I was running against Donald Trump.”

Biden added that “people want us to get things done, they want us to get things done and that’s why I’m continuing to push very hard for the Democratic Party to move along and pass my infrastructure bill and my Build Back Better bill.

Biden stated that people want us to get things done.

“And so, If I’m able to pass and sign into law my Build Back Better initiative, I’m in a position where you’re going to see a lot of those things ameliorated quickly and swiftly. So that has to be done,” he stated.

Former Gov. Glenn Youngkin was defeated by Republican Glenn Youngkin. McAuliffe was defeated by Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, by a slim margin of 50.9 percent to 48.4%, making him the first Republican to win an Old Dominion statewide election since 2009.

Biden urged voters to “accept the legitimacy of these elections” and stated that McAuliffe received “600,000 more votes than any Democrat has ever gotten.”

He said, “No governor in Virginia has [ever] won when he or she’s of the same party as the sitting president.”
