As fellow Democrats worry about a close contest in the Virginia governor's race, candidate Terry McAuliffe is turning to a popular ex-president, other political leaders and outreach programs to encourage turnout from a key constituency: Black voters. On Saturday, former President Barack Obama will hold a rally at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. The visit of the country's first Black president could help energize Black voters, who helped deliver victory for McAuliffe in an earlier bid for governor in 2013. On Sunday, thousands of worshipers at Black churches all over Virginia will see a video featuring Kamala Harris, the first Black woman and first Indian American vice president.
