Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe and 10 others got trapped in an elevator on their way to a news conference for former Vice President Joe Biden
There, Bidenthat McAuliffe might seek to recapture his old office in 2021, calling him “the once and future governor of Virginia.”
Asked about the possibility on Monday, McAuliffe joked that he would return to Richmond only “if they get the elevators working.”Then he added: “I’m all focused on making sure we beat [President] Trump. Let’s get through that, and then we may hear something in November or right after that. We gotta get him out of the White House — ’21 is a long way off. We as Democrats got to prioritize.”
McAuliffe immortalized the elevator moment in a tweet and selfie featuring himself; his wife; Stoney; Khizr Khan, a Gold Star father who spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention and was criticized by President Trump; Virginia House of Delegates Majority Leader Charniele Herring ; Del. Alfonso H. Lopez ; and a few staff members.The group had been meeting at state Democratic Party headquarters, on the 20th floor of the Sun Trust building.
The elevator went down, but stopped between floors, said Adam Zuckerman, the direct-mail director for the Biden campaign. When the small space started to heat up, they pried open the inner doors to let in some air. Stoney used is cellphone to call the fire chief. One of the occupants started to feel claustrophobic. McAuliffe snapped the photo.UPDATE: Saved! THANK YOU RICHMOND Fire Department
