McAuliffe had been heavily favored in race, leading Younkin in polls by double digits in the early days of campaigning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President, do you take some responsibility, and do you think Terry McAuliffe would have won if your agenda had passed before Election Day?\u201d a reporter asked Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I think it should have passed before Election Day,\u201d Biden responded. \u201cBut I\u2019m not sure that I would be able to have changed the number of very conservative folks who turned out in the red districts who were Trump voters, but maybe. Maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou won the state by 10 points,\u201d the reporter pressed. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/27\/terry-mcauliffe-spent-100k-fake-news-ads-governors-race-virginia-youngkin\/\">(RELATED: McAuliffe Spent $100K On Fake News Ads During Governor\u2019s Race)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know we did, but also I was running against Donald Trump,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"President Biden Delivers Remarks on the Authorization of the COVID-19 Vaccine for Kids Ages 5 to 11\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OAwqrKMhujE?start=650&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Biden went on to say that Democrats need to start getting results to maintain control of Congress in 2022.
