Political Wire: “Whether Virginia backs Donald Trump or Joe Biden shouldn’t even be a discussion,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The state hasn’t backed a Republican for president since George W. Bush in 2004.”
“But early polls showing Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, cutting into the Democratic president’s lead have served as a wake-up call for Virginia Democrats, who acknowledge headwinds with voters dissatisfied with Biden’s leadership. Republicans say that if Virginia is even remotely on the table for Trump, Biden is in serious trouble in traditional battleground states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.”
