Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe were both initially scheduled to hold events in Virginia Beach on Monday, Nov. 1, but a spokesperson for McAuliffe said he would no longer be having one in Hampton Roads.
Instead, McAuliffe will be campaigning today in a different portion of the state.
Youngkin is still on schedule to host a rally today at Neptune’s Park, which is located on Atlantic Avenue, at 5 p.m.
The McCauliffe rally was to be held at Smartmouth Brewing:

The Washington Times reported McAuliffe’s schedule before the cancellation:
“Democrat Terry McAuliffe is crisscrossing Virginia on the eve of the governor’s election, making stops in Roanoke, Virginia Beach, Richmond and Fairfax County.”
Photos from McAuliffe’s first stop of the day in Roanoke shows he drew an anemic crowd of a few dozen:
