A Trump 2020 Campaign official told Fox News the trip was as much about the neighboring battleground state of North Carolina as it was about Virginia. "Thirty-nine days from now, we're going to win Virginia, we're going to win North Carolina," Trump said during the rally.
George W was the last Republican to take Virginia(2004).
He won’t win the state, but he might affect some congressional races in VA districts 6, 4 and 2. The northern part of VA rules the rest of the state with an iron fist, and what they say at election time goes.
Sorry but we are overwhelmed by swamp creatures who have brought their Dem/Socialist politics from other Dem states. Stupid, I know, but who else would vote for such luminaries as Gov. Ralph Northam?
The place where he held the rally, Norfolk, is smack dab in the middle of YUGE military community. Its also close to the North Carolina border and situated along the I-95 corridor. Perfect placement to reach millions of people in a very diverse region. There are many Navy, Air Force, and Army bases close by, several well known universities in the immediate area, and it’s on the verge of the rural Virginia and North Carolina. It would be hard to to choose a better spot.
Northern Virginia is the Swampurbs - hard to outvote that government-dependent monstrosity.
It’s a good sign that Trump is campaigning in Virginia and North Carolina as it indicates he knows he will win both states and is running up the score.
Trump won’t flip VA, but going to VA may help GOP Congress Critters.
Is there any estimate of the numbers of the Newport News crowd?
Last night I googled for the number of attendees last night and the first couple of replies said that it was in the hundreds. Fake news...it was in the thousands!
I hope that, after voting in Dems to control the state under Gov Northam, the Republicans will turn out in droves to re-elect the president and Republican congressional candidates. And that many of the ‘moderate’ Dems will have seen the light of living under a Democrapt dictatorship of Northam and his lackeys.
Fairfax, loudoun, and prince William county kills the state.
It was a great rally but Virginia, like Illinois or New York, is a blue state not a purple state, due to the large, leftist population near a large city (i.e. D.C.). I doubt it will go for Trump. He just needs PA, MI, and WI again.

biden’s numbers in northern virginia are not going to be as good as hillary’s numbers.
