Terence Richard McAuliffe (born February 9, 1957) is an American politician who was the 72nd governor of Virginia from 2014 to 2018.[1] A member of the Democratic Party, he was co-chairman of president Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign,[2] chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001 to 2005, and chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2009 Virginia gubernatorial election.

In the 2013 gubernatorial election, McAuliffe ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, and then defeated Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Libertarian Robert Sarvis in the general election.[1] He is running for governor again, against Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin, in the 2021 gubernatorial election.[3] He won the Democratic primary on June 8, 2021.[4] If he wins the general election, he would become the first Virginia governor since Mills Godwin to serve two non-consecutive terms.

Early life and education

McAuliffe was born and raised in Syracuse, New York, the son of Mildred Katherine (née Lonergan) and Jack McAuliffe.[5][6] His father was a real estate agent and local Democratic politician. The family is of Irish descent.[7][8][9]

He graduated from Bishop Ludden Junior/Senior High School in 1975. In 1979, he earned a bachelor's degree from the Catholic University of America, where he served as a resident adviser.[10] After graduating, McAuliffe worked for President Jimmy Carter's reelection campaign, becoming the national finance director at age 22. Following the campaign, he attended Georgetown University Law Center, where he obtained his Juris Doctor degree in 1984.[11]

Business career

At the age of 14, McAuliffe started his first business,[12] McAuliffe Driveway Maintenance, sealing driveways and parking lots. According to The Washington Post, he has "earned millions as a banker, real estate developer, home builder, hotel owner, and internet venture capitalist."[13]

In 1985, McAuliffe helped found the Federal City National Bank, a Washington, D.C.–based local bank.[14] In January 1988, when he was thirty years old, the bank's board elected him as chairman, making him the youngest chairman in the United States Federal Reserve Bank's charter association.[15]: 75–76  In 1991, he negotiated a merger with Credit International Bank, which he called his "greatest business experience."[16] He became the vice-chairman of the newly merged bank.[16][17]

In 1979, McAuliffe met Richard Swann, a lawyer who was in charge of the fundraising for Jimmy Carter's presidential campaign in Florida. In 1988, he married Swann's daughter, Dorothy. In 1991, the Resolution Trust Corporation, a federal agency, took over the assets and liabilities of Swann's American Pioneer Savings Bank.[16] Under Swann's guidance, McAuliffe purchased some of American Pioneer's real estate from the Resolution Trust Corporation. His equal partner in the deal was a pension fund controlled by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA). They purchased real estate valued at $50 million for $38.7 million;[16][18] McAuliffe received a 50% equity stake.[18] In 1996, he acquired a distressed house-building company, American Heritage Homes, which was on the brink of bankruptcy.[16][19] He served as chairman of American Heritage.[20] By 1998, he had built American Heritage Homes into one of Central Florida's biggest homebuilding companies.[21] By 1999, the company was building more than 1,000 single family homes per year.[22] In late 2002, KB Home bought American Heritage Homes for $74 million.[23]

In 1997, McAuliffe invested $100,000 as an angel investor in Global Crossing,[15] a Bermuda–registered telecommunications company.[24] Global Crossing went public in 1998.[25] In 1999, he sold the majority of his holding for $8.1 million.[26] He has faced criticism after making seven figures on his Global Crossing investment when the company declared bankruptcy a year later with 12,000 people losing their jobs.[27]

McAuliffe joined ZeniMax Media as company advisor in 2000.[28]

In 2009, McAuliffe joined GreenTech Automotive, a holding company, which purchased Chinese electric car company EU Auto MyCar for $20 million in May 2010.[29] Later that year, he relocated GreenTech's headquarters to McLean, Virginia, and the manufacturing plant was later based in Mississippi.[30][31][32] In December 2012, he announced his resignation from GreenTech to focus on his run for governor of Virginia.[33][34][35] In 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigated GreenTech Automotive and McAuliffe for visa fraud.[36] He attempted to gain tax credits from the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), the state’s business recruitment agency, to build GreenTech Automotive's factory in Virginia.[37] He refused to supply the VEDP with proper documentation of their business strategy and investors, which caused the VEDP to decline economic incentives for GreenTech Automotive.[37] He later falsely claimed during his gubernatorial run that the VEDP was uncooperative and uninterested in GreenTech Automotive.[37] In 2017, GreenTech Automotive investors sued McAuliffe for fraud, with the firm declaring bankruptcy in 2018.[38][39][40] He gave 32 wealthy Chinese nationals EB-5 visas in exchange for $560,000 investments into GreenTech Automotive, which exceeded the Department of Homeland Security's determined quota for GreenTech Automotive.[38][39]

Early political career

Relationship with the Clintons

McAuliffe had a prolific fundraising career within the Democratic Party and a personal and political relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton.[16] McAuliffe and his staff raised $275 million, then an unprecedented sum, for Clinton's causes while president. After Bill Clinton's tenure ended, he guaranteed the Clintons' $1.35 million mortgage for their home in Chappaqua, New York. The deal raised ethical questions.[41][42] In 1999, he served as chairman of America's Millennium Celebration under Clinton.[43] In 2000, he chaired a fundraiser with the Clintons to benefit Vice President Al Gore, setting a fundraising record of $26.3 million.[44]

McAuliffe told to The New York Times in 1999, "I've met all of my business contacts through politics. It's all interrelated." When he meets a new business contact, he continued, "Then I raise money from them."[16] He acknowledged that the success of his business dealings stemmed partly from his relationship with Bill Clinton, saying, "No question, that's a piece of it." He also credited his ties to former congressmen Dick Gephardt and Tony Coelho, his Rolodex of 5,000-plus names, and his ability to personally relate to people.[16] In 2004, he was one of the five-member board of directors of the Clinton Foundation.[45] He told New York Times reporter Mark Leibovich in 2012 that his Rolodex held 18,632 names.[46]

2000 Democratic National Convention

In June 2000, as organizers of the 2000 Democratic National Convention were working to raise $7 million, convention chairman Roy Romer resigned to become superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District. McAuliffe immediately accepted appointment as Romer's replacement when asked on a phone call by presumptive presidential nominee Al Gore. Already in the news for a record $26 million fundraiser with Bill Clinton the month prior, he promised that money would be a "non-issue" for the convention, and that the outstanding $7 million would be raised "very quickly".[41] Many in the party praised his selection, which was widely seen to represent the growth in his influence, with James Carville telling The New York Times that "his stock is trading at an all-time high".[47][48]

Chair of the Democratic National Committee

In February 2001, McAuliffe was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and served until February 2005.[49] During his tenure, the DNC raised $578 million and emerged from debt for the first time in its history.[50] Prior to serving as chairman of the DNC, he served as chairman of the DNC Business Leadership Forum in 1993 and as the DNC finance chairman in 1994.[51][15]: 88, 210 

In 2001, McAuliffe founded the Voting Rights Institute.[52] In June 2001, he announced the founding of the Hispanic Voter Outreach Project to reach more Hispanic voters.[15]: 296–297  The same year, he founded the Women's Vote Center to educate, engage and mobilize women at the local level to run for office.[53][15]: 297 

In the period between the elections of 2002 and the 2004 Democratic convention, the DNC rebuilt operations and intra-party alliances. McAuliffe worked to restructure the Democratic primary schedule, allowing Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico, and South Carolina to vote earlier; the move provided African-American and Hispanic/Latino communities as well as labor unions greater inclusion in presidential primaries. According to The Washington Post, the move bolstered United States Senator John Kerry's fundraising efforts.[54] The DNC rebuilt its headquarters and McAuliffe built the Democratic Party's first National Voter File, a computer database of more than 175 million names known as "Demzilla."[55][56] During the 2004 election cycle, the DNC hosted six presidential debates for the first time.[57]

As chairman, McAuliffe championed direct mail and online donations and built a small donor base that eliminated the party's debt and, according to The Washington Post, “could potentially power the party for years”.[58] Under his leadership, the DNC raised a total of $248 million from donors giving $25,000 or less during the 2003-2004 election cycle.[59]

In January 2005, a few weeks before his term ended, McAuliffe earmarked $5 million of the party's cash to assist Tim Kaine and other Virginia Democrats in their upcoming elections. This donation was the largest non-presidential disbursement in DNC history, and was part of his attempt to prove Democratic viability in Southern states in the wake of the 2004 presidential election.[60] Kaine was successful in his bid, and served as the governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010.

Post-DNC

McAuliffe interacts with staffers and volunteers at Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign headquarters.

McAuliffe was co-chair of the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign[61] and one of her superdelegates at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.[62]

In 2012, he was a visiting fellow at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. In addition to several faculty and student lectures, McAuliffe hosted a segment entitled "The Making of a Candidate: From Running Campaigns to Running on my Own."[63]

2009 gubernatorial campaign

On November 10, 2008, McAuliffe formed an exploratory committee aimed at the Virginia gubernatorial election in 2009.[64] According to The Washington Post, he believed he would prevail "because he [could] campaign as a business leader who can bring jobs to Virginia."[64] He also cited his ability to raise money for down-ticket Democratic candidates.[64] He raised over $7.5 million during the campaign and donated an additional $500,000 to himself.[65][66]

In the primary election, he faced two high-profile Democrats, state senator Creigh Deeds, the 2005 Democratic nominee for Attorney General of Virginia, and Brian Moran, a former Virginia House of Delegates Minority Leader. On June 9, 2009, McAuliffe placed second with 26% of the vote; Deeds received 50% and Moran garnered 24%.[67][68]

2013 election

On November 8, 2012, McAuliffe emailed supporters announcing his intention to run for governor of Virginia in 2013. In his email he stated, "It is absolutely clear to me that Virginians want their next Governor to focus on job creation and common sense fiscal responsibility instead of divisive partisan issues."[69]

On April 2, 2013, McAuliffe became the Democratic nominee, as he ran unopposed.[70] In the general, he campaigned against Republican nominee (and sitting Attorney General of Virginia) Ken Cuccinelli, and Libertarian nominee Robert Sarvis. He won 47.8% of the vote; Cuccinelli and Sarvis garnered 45.2% and 6.5%, respectively.[1] He broke a 40-year trend and was the first candidate of the sitting president's party elected governor of Virginia since 1973.[71]

Tenure

McAuliffe and the inaugural VSP Capital Campout, 2015.

McAuliffe took the oath of office on January 11, 2014. Following the ceremony, he signed four executive orders, including one instituting a ban on gifts over $100 to members of the administration,[72] and an order prohibiting discrimination against state employees for sexual orientation and gender identity.[73] The other executive orders dealt with government continuity.[73]

As governor, McAuliffe issued a record 120 vetoes.[74] He vetoed more bills than his three predecessors combined.[75] He vetoed bills mainly concerning social legislation, including abortion and LGBT rights, along with the environment and voting rights.[76][74] Throughout his term, the state legislature did not overturn any of the vetoes he issued.[77][78] During his tenure, Virginia collected more than $20 billion in new capital investment, $7 billion more than any previous governor.[79][80] He participated in more than 35 trade and marketing missions to five continents, more than any other preceding governor, to promote state tourism and other products.[81]

In 2014, president Barack Obama appointed McAuliffe to the Council of Governors.[82][83] That same year, the Chesapeake Bay Program appointed him to chair its executive council.[84] He was elected as vice chair of the National Governors Association in July 2015 and became chair of the organization in July 2016.[85][86] In June 2016, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization named him "Governor of the Year".[87]

During his term, unemployment fell from 5.7% to 3.3% and personal income rose by 14.19%.[88] PolitiFact noted McAuliffe, like many other governors, had little control over their state's economic performance, with Virginia's economy following national trends.[89] Also in 2017, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia honored him with the Brick Wall Award.[90] That year, he was also named one of StateScoop's State Executives of the year.[91][92] He has repeated false claims that he turned a budget deficit into a surplus during his tenure.[93]

McAuliffe, among registered voters in Virginia, maintained neutral-to-positive approval ratings during his tenure, but he was less popular than Bob McDonnell, Tim Kaine, and Mark Warner.[94]

Healthcare reform

After the Republican-controlled Virginia House of Delegates blocked his plans to expand Medicaid, McAuliffe unveiled his own plan titled "A Healthy Virginia." He authorized four emergency regulations and issued one executive order allowing for use of federal funds (made available by the Affordable Care Act to any state seeking to expand its Medicaid program to increase the number of poor citizens who had access to health insurance).[95] His last hope for full Medicaid expansion ended when a Democratic state senator, Phillip Puckett of Russell County, resigned from his Republican-leaning seat. As a result, Virginia Democrats' razor-thin majority in the state senate flipped in favor of the Republicans, giving them control of both halves of the state's legislature.[96]

Economic development

In addition to healthcare reform, a major initiative during his first year was economic development, with McAuliffe using his business and political contacts to close deals for the commonwealth.[97] He helped close a deal to bring Stone Brewing to Richmond[98] and landed a $2 billion paper plant in the Richmond suburbs. He helped broker a deal with the Corporate Executive Board to locate its global headquarters in Arlington which created 800 new jobs.[99] He worked on deals to restore service in Norfolk from Carnival Cruise Lines and Air China service to Dulles International Airport.[100] In February 2016, he announced that Virginia was the first state to functionally end veteran homelessness.[101] In 2017, he announced that Nestle USA was moving its headquarters from California to Virginia. He had worked with the company for more than a year to secure the move.[102][103] He also helped with bringing Amazon's second headquarters to Virginia in 2018.[104]

Voting rights

On April 22, 2016, McAuliffe signed an executive order restoring voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons in Virginia.[105] The order was initially overturned by the Supreme Court of Virginia for violating the Constitution of Virginia, ruling that the Governor does not have the authority to grant blanket pardons and restorations of rights.[106] On August 22, 2016, he announced that he had restored the voting rights to almost 13,000 felons individually using an autopen.[107][108][109] Republican leadership in the state filed a contempt-of-court motion against McAuliffe for the action, which the court dismissed.[110][111] By the end of his term, he had restored voting rights for 173,000 released felons, more than any governor in U.S. history.[112][113] The blanket restoration has remained controversial, with individuals like convicted serial child sexual abuse felon Nathan Larson being granted suffrage.[114][115] McAuliffe's blanket restoration was opposed by several Democratic Commonwealth's Attorneys, including Theo Stamos of Arlington County, Ray Morrogh of Fairfax County, and Paul Ebert of Prince William County; he later retaliated against them by supporting progressive primary challengers seeking to oust Stamos and Morrogh with Ebert retiring.[116][117]

FBI investigation

On May 23, 2016, it was reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was investigating McAuliffe "over whether donations to his gubernatorial campaign violated the law." One example cited was a $120,000 donation from Chinese businessman Wang Wenliang. According to CNN, Wang's status as a legal permanent resident of the United States could make the donation legal under U.S. election law.[118]

Immigration

On January 31, 2017, McAuliffe appeared with Attorney General Mark Herring to announce that Virginia was joining the lawsuit Aziz v. Trump, challenging President Donald Trump's immigration executive order.[119] On March 27, 2017, he vetoed a bill that would have prevented sanctuary cities in Virginia.[120][121]

Death penalty

Further information: Capital punishment in Virginia

While describing himself as "personally opposed" to death penalty,[122] McAuliffe, presided over the three last executions carried in Virginia, before it was abolished in 2021 under his successor Ralph Northam.[123] He also commuted two death sentences, that of Ivan Teleguz and William Joseph Burns.[124]

Post-governorship

After the 2016 presidential election, the media speculated McAuliffe could be a potential candidate in the 2020 United States presidential election.[125] Speculation intensified after Democrat Ralph Northam won the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial election by a wider than expected margin, which media reports suggested strengthened his credibility.[126]

On November 30, 2017, McAuliffe's confidantes told The Hill he was "seriously considering a 2020 presidential run."[127]

In February 2018, he began serving as the state engagement chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.[128]

McAuliffe initially called for Governor Ralph Northam to resign in 2019 after Northam's history of committing racially insensitive acts was made public; he stated he regretted calling for Northam's resignation later that month.[129][130] He called for Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax's resignation following several allegations of sexual assault against Fairfax came-to-light in 2019; Fairfax called him a "racist" for supporting his accusers.[131][132][133] Fairfax stated that McAuliffe treated him like George Floyd and Emmett Till.[134][135][136] Former Democratic governor Doug Wilder, who served as Virginia's first Black governor, criticized McAuliffe for inconsistency on race issues and supporting Ralph Northam and Mark Herring after they were outed for engaging in blackface, stating, "Is what Northam and Herring did all right by any standard?”[137] Wilder also said that McAuliffe pushed aside Black politicians.[137]

On April 17, 2019, McAuliffe announced that he would not pursue the presidency in 2020 and would support Democrats in the 2019 Virginia elections.[138] After calling for Joe Morrissey's resignation from the House of Delegates for having sex with a female minor in 2015 -- Morrissey had employed her as a part-time receptionist -- McAuliffe campaigned for Morrissey in the 2019 elections with McAuliffe helping Morrissey raise campaign funds.[139][140][141] He said he "respect[ed]" Morrissey's fighting spirit at a campaign fundraiser for Morrissey.[142]

2021 gubernatorial campaign

Main article: 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election

On December 8, 2020, McAuliffe posted a video to his Facebook page announcing his return campaign for governor.[143] On June 8, 2021, he won the Democratic primary, garnering 62% of the vote, defeating four other candidates.[4] He will face Republican Glenn Youngkin in the general election. Their first debate was canceled after Youngkin refused to attend, citing his objection to moderator Judy Woodruff over a donation she made to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund in 2010; Youngkin has committed to three other debates.[144] McAuliffe has continued to repeat false claims that he turned a budget deficit into a surplus during his tenure despite being called out by fact-checkers repeatedly on the campaign trail.[145][146][147][148] He announced his support for "Northam’s newly announced mask mandate" in August 2021.[149] Also in August 2021, he voiced his support for vaccine mandates.[150]

Political positions

Abortion

In 2013, McAuliffe said he supports "keeping existing Virginia laws on when abortions are legal."[151] He opposes new state health and safety regulations on abortion clinics.[152][153]

On February 21, 2017, he vetoed a bill that would have defunded Planned Parenthood in Virginia.[154]

In 2019, according to PolitiFact, McAuliffe made a "full flop" on late-term abortions, initially opposing a bill to deregulate them in February before supporting the same bill in April.[155]

Education

McAuliffe has argued for workforce development, with education proposals being funded through savings from the proposed Medicaid expansion.[156] He supported a bill to reduce statewide accreditation standards.[157] In May 2021, according to PolitiFact, he falsely stated that "Every single Petersburg school was accredited when I left office;" only two of the city's six schools were fully accredited.[158] The other four schools were conditionally accredited following the reduction in statewide accreditation standards.[158] He falsely stated he raised education funding to record levels.[159] In September 2021, he said he opposed allowing parents to have a say in public education, stating, "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."[160]

Energy and environmental issues

McAuliffe understands that human activity has contributed to global warming, and characterizes clean energy as a national security issue.[161] He supports reducing dependence on foreign oil through investment in technologies such as carbon capture and storage, solar farms, and offshore wind turbines.[161][162] Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer and the League of Conservation Voters endorsed him.[163][164]

In his 2009 campaign, McAuliffe said, "I want to move past coal. As governor, I never want another coal plant built."[165] In his 2013 campaign, he supported tougher safety requirements on coal plants.[151] He also announced his support for the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, which would limit the amount of carbon dioxide that could be emitted by power plants, making it difficult to build new coal-fired plants and to keep old ones operating.[166]

In March 2017, McAuliffe filed a request with the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management that Virginia's coastal areas be excluded from a program to open up the East Coast to offshore drilling.[167][168] In May 2017, he issued an executive order for Virginia to become a member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to cut greenhouse gases from power plants. It was the first southern state to join.[169]

Gun rights

McAuliffe is a hunter and owns several shotguns.[170] He supports universal background checks for gun sales,[171][172] as well as "a renewal of the state's one-a-month limit on handgun purchases,... a ban on anyone subject to a protection-from-abuse order from having a gun and the revoking of concealed-handgun permits for parents who are behind on child-support payments."[172] He has also called for an assault weapons ban in Virginia.[173]

In January 2016, McAuliffe reached a compromise with Republicans, allowing interstate holders of concealed carry permits in Virginia, nullifying Attorney General Mark Herring's previous ruling, effective February 1, 2016. The deal will also take guns from domestic abusers and will require state police to attend gun shows to provide background checks upon request from private sellers.[174]

Healthcare

McAuliffe supports the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. He supports expanding Medicaid, arguing that taxes Virginians pay would return to Virginia.[151] He falsely stated that the Medicaid fraud rate in Virginia was fact-checked by PolitiFact Virginia and it was "Point-four-seven percent, less than half a percent. That’s the facts;" in reality, PolitiFact Virginia did not perform a fact-check.[175] The percentage he cited was similar to the amount lost to clerical errors, not the fraud rate, in the Medicaid system.[175]

Impeachment

In August 2018, McAuliffe stated "that's something we ought to look at", referring to President Trump's impeachment. He argued that if "President Obama had gone to Helsinki and done what President Trump had done, you would already have impeachment hearings going on."[176]

Law enforcement

In April 2017, McAuliffe was made an honorary sheriff by the Virginia Sheriffs’ Association. He vetoed a bill limiting the use of license plate readers, and a bill that would have allowed the carrying of switchblade knives for recreational purposes. It was the first time a governor was recognized as an honorary sheriff at an annual meeting.[177]

In 2021, according to PolitiFact, McAuliffe made a "full flop" on qualified immunity, initially supporting its repeal in April before reversing course in September.[178]

LGBT rights

McAuliffe supports same-sex marriage and supported the United States Supreme Court ruling in June 2015 that deemed the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.[179]

In 2013 during his gubernatorial candidacy, McAuliffe declared his support for same-sex marriage and was the first candidate to do so.[180][181]

Transportation

McAuliffe supported the bipartisan transportation bill that passed the General Assembly in 2013. He is in favor of the Silver Line, which would expand Metrorail services into Fairfax and Loudoun counties.[182] In May 2011, according to PolitiFact, he made a "pants on fire" claim when he stated Virginia has no mechanism to repay transportation bonds; the commonwealth does in fact have one.[183]

Personal life

McAuliffe and his family at Twin Lakes State Park, 2015.

McAuliffe married Dorothy Swann on October 8, 1988.[184] They reside in McLean, Virginia with their five children.[185] Their son Jack attended the United States Naval Academy and became a Marine.[185][186]

In March 2018, McAuliffe was appointed as a visiting professor at George Mason University.[187]

Memoirs

McAuliffe authored two books that both appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list.[188][189]

His memoir, What a Party! My Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals, was published in 2007 with Steve Kettmann and made The New York Times Best Seller list, debuting at #5 in February 2007.[189] Among anecdotes told in the memoir was McAuliffe wrestling an eight-foot, 260-pound alligator for three minutes to secure a $15,000 contribution for President Jimmy Carter in 1980.[190] He and the alligator would appear on the cover of Life magazine.[190] Others included hunting with King Juan Carlos of Spain, golf outings with President Bill Clinton, and reviving the Democratic National Convention.[191] McAuliffe also wrote about the September 11 attacks and his experiences in the Democratic National Committee office immediately after.[192] He was criticized for writing he felt like a "caged rat" when he was unable to raise campaign funds for the Democratic Party after 9/11, left his wife crying with their newborn child to raise money for the Democrats, and left his wife in the delivery room to attend a party for a Washington Post reporter.[193]

In 2019, McAuliffe wrote a second book in the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally, entitled Beyond Charlottesville, Taking a Stand Against White Nationalism.[194][195] In August 2019, the book made The New York Times Best Seller list.[196]
