Folks, Donald Trump and JD Vance are determined to flip Virginia. Trump couldn’t win here in 2016 or 2020, and his ego won’t let him stand by while Tim Kaine keeps VA blue.
In just a minute, we’ll ask you to contribute to our daily fundraising goal so we can fight back against Trump, but before we do, let’s talk about how we got here.
First, In January, Donald Trump promised to target Virginia in 2024. His campaign even said flipping the Commonwealth was a “crucial” part of their general election strategy.
Then, he made good on his promise. But don’t just take our word for it — here’s just some of what’s been reported over the past few months:
CNN: ‘We are seeing real momentum’: Republicans think Virginia could be in play this year
CBS News: Trump to campaign in Virginia after first presidential debate
Axios: Trump campaign to open 11 Virginia field offices: report
NBC News: Trump builds ties with Gov. Glenn Youngkin in an effort to flip Virginia
Now, Trump has made Hung Cao — the MAGA extremist running to unseat Tim Kaine — a central part of his strategy to flip the state. He’s endorsed him, campaigned beside him multiple times, and praised him on social media.
