I don’t understand this strategy at all.

Biden is unpopular across the country and in Virginia. What is he trying so hard to nationalize this race and bring in Biden and Harris?

Why not stick to local issues instead?

Probably realize he loses that way and to motivate NoVa voters to vote in high numbers by constantly mentioning TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP.

This is a race where you can say generic Democrat should beat generic Republican, but Youngkin I think has demonstrated the correct way for a Republican to handle the Trump factor in a general election: he's there, don't antagonize him, but don't embrace him either. Now the question for 2022 elections is whether that style of Republican candidate can win a primary to get out into the general. If enough do so, Democrats are going to be in 2022 running like it's 2020 instead of on their record or on current issues, which is not a recipe for success.
