Jen Psaki downplays concerns that off-year elections are 'bellwether' amid close VA governor's race

By -

 White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki downplayed concerns that 2021's off-year elections could signal trouble for President Biden and Democrats, arguing they are not a "bellwether" that can predict future elections.

"I think the president of course wants former Governor McAuliffe to be the future governor of Virginia. There is alignment in a lot of their agenda," Psaki said during Thursday's press briefing. "I will leave it to other outside analysis to convey that off-year elections are often not a bellwether."

The press secretary made clear that the Biden administration supports former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, arguing that the former governor shares a similar vision to the president.

"We're going to do everything we have to help former Governor McAuliffe and we believe in the agenda he's representing," Psaki said.

Q    I’m curious if the White House sees the Virginia governor’s race as a bellwether — we talked about it a lot in here — and if the outcome is basically a (inaudible) support of the President’s agenda since McAuliffe is running on it quite a bit.
 
MS. PSAKI:  Well, I have to be a little careful about how much political analysis I do from here and not (inaudible) into that too much. 
 
Look, I think the President, of course, wants former Governor McAuliffe to be the future governor of Virginia.  There is alignment on a lot of their agenda, whether it is the need to invest in rebuilding our roads, rails, and bridges, or making it easier for women to rejoin the workforce.
 
I will say as — I will leave it to other outside analysis to convey that off-year elections are often — are often not a bellwether, but — and there’s a lot of history here in Virginia.  But, again, we’re going to do everything we can to help former Governor McAuliffe, and we believe in the agenda he’s representing.
 
Q    And on COVID, on travel, is there any update on the exact date when the ban on travel from abroad is going to be lifted?  I think last time we heard early November.  Is there an exact date that you can share here?
 
MS. PSAKI:  I don’t have an exact date for you today.  Early November remains the case, and we main — remain on track for that.
 
Q    Is “early November” the first two weeks in November, the first week in November, the first few days in November?
 
MS. PSAKI:  I will let you assess what “early November” means.  It means early in November.

Cho tam giác ABC vuông tại A có AB < AC. Vẽ AH vuông góc với BC ( H thuộc BC), D là điểm trên cạnh AC sao cho AD=AB. Vẽ DE vuông góc với BC( E thuộc BC). Chứng minh rằng : HA=HE.

GiẢI: VẼ DG vuông góc vối AH (G thuộc AH). Suy ra: DG//BC. Ta có: Góc BAH = góc BCA   ( cùng phụ góc B) Mà góc BCA = góc GDA (góc trong cùng phía) Do đó: góc BAH = góc GDA Xét hai tam giác ABH và DAG, ta có: ü góc BAH = góc GDA   (chứng minh trên) ü AB=AD ( giả thuyết) ü ABH vuông tại H, và AHG vuông tại G. Nếu học tới các trường hợp bằng nhau của tam giác vuông thì ghi là: Tam giác ABH = tam giác DAG   (cạnh huyền góc nhon) Nếu chưa học tới thì ghi: Tam giác ABH = tam giác DAG   (góc cạnh góc) Suy ra: AH=DG Lại có: DG=HE (vì EDGH là hình chủ nhật) Vậy AH=HE Sau này nếu có bài khó muốn hỏi thì em có thể vào đây ghi câu hỏi: Đặt câu hỏi . Lưu ý T chuyên Toán – Lý – Hóa nên hỏi một trong 3 môn này sẽ được trả lời nhanh.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.
