In recent months, Donald Trump has shocked Democrat strategists. After trailing behind Biden in fundraising for months, he has outraised the Democrat in May. That came, mind you, after Democrats convicted Trump in a New York court.
It seems clear that Trump isn’t playing it safe, campaigning only in red states. He has made big plays for swing states that Biden won in 2020.
But Trump is going even further. He held a rally in the South Bronx and New Jersey. He showed up in Philadelphia last weekend, a Democratic stronghold if there ever was one. Now, he is defying the liberal playbook again with a move to flip yet another blue state.
Former President Donald Trump appears poised to invest heavily in Virginia in the 2024 election as new polling data suggests the Old Dominion could be competitive for Republicans for the first time in 20 years.
The state has not backed a Republican for president since George W. Bush in 2004 and trended increasingly Democratic over the years until GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s upset win in 2021 reignited Republican hopes in the commonwealth…
“Joe Biden is so weak, and Democrats are in such disarray, that not only is President Trump dominating in every traditional battleground state, but longtime blue states such as Minnesota, Virginia, and New Jersey are now in play…”

Trump has set his sights on Virginia, which seemed securely blue until recently. His renewed push into traditionally Democratic territories is making headlines and terrifying Democrats. With a focus on expanding his influence, Trump’s strategy is to capitalize on Biden’s failures—even in blue states.
Virginia flipped the script when it elected Glenn Youngkin as governor in 2021. There seems to be an opportunity for Republicans to gain inroads, especially as Biden’s stagnant policies are causing many Americans to flounder.
By tapping into the frustrations of Virginia’s rural and suburban voters, Trump aims to gain ground in the traditionally blue state. His message is resonating with more than just dyed-in-the-wool Republicans.
Polls show that Biden is losing ground with reliable liberal voting blocs. Young voters hate him over Israel. Minorities are ticked off about the border. And Biden’s biggest get, black voters, are turning on his en masse. If Biden can’t hold black voters, he is dead in the water.
If Trump can win even a portion of the black voter, in Virginia and beyond, we could be looking at a historic landslide.
