...Why do we think the Trump campaign is seizing on this opportunity to grab Virginias 13 Electoral College votes?
First, the polls are tightening. The most recent Judy Ford Watson Center for Public Policy (Christopher Newport University) poll has Biden with only a five-point lead on Trump among likely Virginia voters. It is a significant change from the double-digit lead Biden held in the spring and over the summer.
Second, the Trump campaigns ground game and voter outreach is outclassing Bidens. The Virginia Trump Victory effort has already been in contact with over 2.1 million voters via phone banking and door knocking, especially in the Northern Virginia suburbs. This is over half of Virginias voters and compares to a minimal effort by the Democrats this cycle. In 2016, Northern Virginia residents were besieged by mailings and union and liberal special interest groups undertaking extensive door-knocking campaigns for Hillary Clinton. Not this year. The Biden ground game and enthusiasm are a shell of Democrats historic efforts.
Third, President Trump has made real inroads with minority communities. Black voters make up one-fifth of the states electorate, and President Trump is moving the needle with Black (and Latino) male voters. As a Politico headline stated, Bidens weakness with Black and Latino men creates an opening for Trump....

Richmond is always a problem.
The 7th is mostly red.
Nope, that’s where all the Deep Staters live.
I’d actually be shocked if he didn’t win Virginia. WMAL is the #1 radio station in the NOVA area, and has been since April.
A good night for Trump is where he loses Virginia 48-51 but that results in Republicans winning those house seats you mentioned.
Im sorry! I hope and pray the conservatives turn out in droves this time- but Ive just seen the changes in this state due to getting overrun by Deep Staters- Its been remarkable in my lifetime, especially the past 20 years. Bel weather counties one after the next turned reliably solid dem in Virginia. Not a single republican on the school board. I have great hope for Michigan and elsewhere, but my neighborhood is papered wall to wall in BLM and Commie signs of all types. The zombie apocalypse here is real!
My wife and I moved to The metro Richmond area over 30 years ago. Rose a family. Schools were great. The area was having massive improvements just as The China Virus was unleashed in February. This place is now a shithole.
The Marxists that run this state/city have turned this into East Portland.
Thank God it was a good place, and improving. There is no way that I would raise a family here now.
Hasta.....
Right. The same VA that gaven the Democrats total control of the state AFTER their blackface and rape scandals. Focusing there at this stage would be like Hillary campaigning in TX. We have a legitimate shot to turn NV and MN. VA is a pipe dream...
Warner is not from Virginia! He grew up in Connecticut in Vernon. My mom used to play Bridge with his mom. Virginia, defeat Warner...please..
Id be really happy if we got those house seats!
Conservative talk radio is always the most popular station. There are too many naturalized citizens from communist/socialist countries who moved here on h1b (and their parents and their wife’s parents), white collar welfare government workers, and liberals moving out of the cesspools (DC & MD) they created to raise their children here in Northern VA.
That’s only been since 2008...prior to that, most of those counties were actually red. Strange how they go from being red to blue in such a short period of time.
You can see the transformation clicking to go from election to election here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_United_States_presidential_election_in_Virginia
Mmmmm. No. It has been decades since WMAL was #1. And I am not talking about conservative talk radio. I am talking ALL RADIO.
Can you extrapolate on what “objective sources” you’re referencing?
The Spectator seems to be an objective source.
Don’t forget the 80,000 criminals the Dems restored voting rights for. I’m afraid VA is lost for now. Sorry to be the pessimist.
Northern Virginia is also wall to wall Salvadorans and other Hispanics, many of them illegal. WALL TO WALL.
We live in northern Virginia, and for the first time in the 12 years weve been here, we had a door-knocker for a major Republican candidate - this one was for Gade.
The VAGOP is notorious for failing to support their own people, so I was surprised until I found out he was a volunteer for Gade, and had had no contact with the state GOP.
Still, it was encouraging.
do you mean the Christopher Newport Cross? when did they remove that? News to me....
Nothing will be enough. Nothing!
We MUST get every vote & every state we can. They are set up to cheat their asses off. They believe that they are allowed to cheat because Orange Man Bad!
These people are criminal psychopaths.
No, the cross “was” in Richmond, across from 119 Shockoe Slip. I am fed up with these soleless liars.
