Brandon Campaigned for a Dem in Trouble and It Didn't Go Very Well

President Joseph Robinette Biden - "Brandon," to you and me - left his pretend West Wing video set and ventured about 50 miles south into newly Republican-run Virginia to campaign for Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) yesterday.
It's possible Brandon won't be heading down to Fredricksburg any time soon.
First, let's recall the last time "Mr. Under 40%" ventured into The Old Dominion. It was the last week of October 2021. Just one week before the gubernatorial election. He was brought in to seal the deal for Terry McAuliffe.
After all, he had just won Virginia one year before by ten points. Mr. Popularity would be the perfect guy to make the closing argument for his buddy-ole-pal Terry.
If you weren't paying attention, Biden didn't really move the needle... unless he moved it in the wrong direction. That ten-point margin for Democrats from 2020 turned into a two-point advantage for Glenn Youngkin and Republicans. McAuliffe, Brandon, and his policies moved the state electorate by 12 points.
Twelve points.
