President Joe Biden on Wednesday confronted a sobering defeat for Democrats in Virginia’s gubernatorial election, adding new pressure to resolve Democratic bickering and pass his social and climate agenda.

In Virginia’s closely watched election for governor on Tuesday, Republican newcomer Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in a state Biden won by 10 points in the presidential election a year ago.
