Virginia is a lost cause thanks to our candidate, so don’t believe the media when they blame it on Trump. As to NJ, not sure either way.
New Jersey has been solid Democrat for some time.
Virginia leans Democrat now, but for a long time, they just voted the other party from the party of the president elected the year before.
