Donald Trump's campaign is "pulling out of Virginia," a move that stunned staff in the battleground state, three sources with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.
The decision came from Trump's headquarters in New York and was announced on a conference call late Wednesday that left some Republican Party operatives in the state blindsided. Two staffers directly involved in the GOP's efforts in Virginia confirmed the decision.
The move to pull out of Virginia shows Trump is "running essentially a four state campaign," with the focus now shifting to battlegrounds critical to his chances in November: Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, a source with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.
Trump can win NH & Maine too.
Well, I don’t know. Cuccinelli was running double digits behind McAuliffe and lost by 2.5. Gillespie was running way behind Warner and lost by a split point.
It’s probable that Trump will outperform his polling numbers here, especially if Democrats think it’s safe. OTOH, maybe presidential election models are more predictable. OTOH, the last 2 prez elections had a black guy on the ballot, so are Tidewater blacks really going to turn out?
Hopefully torrential thunderstorms stretching from nova to Philly.
When did we start believing NBC??
Why give up and not call fellow voters to encourage them to vote for Trump?
Corey Stewart is more a “Corey serve”ative than conservative.
Local media us running daily stoties about voter fraud. Foreigners voting due to motor-voter and early voting. The Dem attorney general either turns a blind eye or actively makes the corruption easier. The ground game us still in place and engaged.
"On October 10, 2016, less than a year after his appointment and at the height of the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, Stewart was fired by Trump from this position for organizing a demonstration in protest of the Republican National Committee outside of its national headquarters in Washington D.C. and for calling fellow Republicans "pukes""
I can't imagine that there is anything that anyone working for the Trump campaign could call the RNC that would warrant firing. Is there more to this story?
Trump wasn’t going to carry Virginia anyway. And his Pennsylvania chances are slim as well. He can win if he carries Ohio and Florida so concentrate there.
From the same MSM traitors who “bring you all the news you need”—and they want you to have.
It’s amazing to me how many people, even here, just BELIEVE something reported by an outfit like NBC.
The truth is that the Trump campaign never put significant resources in Virginia to begin with. This is more horse s**t.
Some should tell Pence. He had two events here yesterday.
See Tagline.
If NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, FNC, etc. say the words “sources say”, it means ZILCH!!! While the Trump campaign or DJT, himself announce it...i will believe it!!! NBC...fair & balanced....forget it, folks!!! LMAO!!!
VA is a blue state. Trump never had a chance there.
my thoughts exactly....
Which is why I have no hard feelings about closing up many alphabet soup agencies. The minions know Hillary is crooked, but will vote for her anyway to keep their stinking jobs.
Take it with a grain - NBC/NYT/WaPo all working overtime to demoralize Trump supporters.
The Founders proven right again.
If Alexandria was still in the Federal District, Va would be Trump. No contest.
