Former President Donald Trump traveled on Saturday to a state few people consider a battleground in this presidential election: Virginia.
“We win Virginia, we win the whole thing without question. The whole thing,” Trump, who has made the case for months that the state is in play, told the audience. “Wouldn’t it be cool? Wouldn’t it be nice?”
Virginia was long a presidential battleground state, but a Republican hasn’t won it since George W. Bush in 2004. Since then, Democrats have carried it, with Biden widening the margin to 10 percentage points in 2020. Most polls show Vice President Kamala Harris with a comfortable lead.
