Tim Kaine Celebrates High Voter Turnout In Virginia's Recent Election

Published | Video Starts at 04:33

So when Governor Youngkin and winsome Earl Sears won and Jason mears won in 2021, why were they able to get a 25% increase in voting participation in Virginia?

We allowed people to vote for 45 days before the election day. And by doing those three things, some of which President Trump says should be banned at the national level, it helped a Republican ticket sweep all races in Virginia. (04:33–04:44)
