In Vino Veritas
Trump held a rally in VA in support of Youngkin, against the wishes of Youngkin’s campaign.
The rally, which featured attendees pledging allegiance to a flag flown at the redneck insurrection, took place at a time where Youngkin is attempting to distance himself from Trump in the finally stretch before the election.
The Jan 6th debacle is a very hot issue in NOVA, as anything that happens across the Potomac inevitably affects there.
Mcauliffe’s campaign was quick to latch onto the event. Tying Youngkin to Trump and forcing the Republican candidate to repudiate the rally. Which could hurt his standing with Trump loving Republicans in central and south central VA. Polls already show Glenn isn’t hitting the margins he needs on the I81 Spine, a crucial area where Republicans need to run up votes to counter the Dems advantages in NOVA. Having to distance from any Trump rally is something Glenn was likely hoping to avoid, and this comes at the worst time for him.
