Virginia has become a battleground for national interest groups after an unusually promising push for gun control sparked backlash among gun-rights proponents in the state.
Biden's endorsements ahead of the November 5 elections mirror endorsements made by prominent gun control groups such as Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords. Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the latter group's namesake, announced her organization's endorsements in Fairfax, Virginia, across the street from the headquarters of the National Rifle Association .
"I am proud to endorse these exemplary leaders from across the commonwealth who all share a unified goal: getting things done for Virginians," former Vice President Joe Biden said in a press release."I know these leaders can make a Democratic majority in Virginia a reality.
Biden is exceedingly popular in Virginia. A University of Mary Washington survey conducted in September found that he would best President Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup by 18 points, a wider margin than any other Democratic candidate's.
