RICHMOND, Va. - Democrat Terry McAuliffe launched his long-teased comeback bid for governor Wednesday, casting himself as a "bold" but tested leader who can address stubborn social inequities as he rebuilds a post-pandemic Virginia.
"I am running for governor again to think big, and to be bold, and to take the commonwealth of Virginia to the next level - and to lift up all Virginians," he said at a Richmond elementary school, a location meant to signal a commitment to education.
