Virginia could be the next domino to fall Trump’s epic backfire on rigging the midterm elections.
Donald Trump, the “stable genius” who came up with the plan to keep the House of Representatives under Republican control by getting the red states to redraw their maps, is teaming up with his Minion #1, House Speaker Mike Johnson, to try to get Republicans to the polls to vote in tomorrow’s elections in Virginia, which could give Democrats four more seats in the House of Representatives in November.

Trump is apparently so lazy that they couldn’t really get him to hold a rally in Virginia to avoid the vote, but there are a few key factors as to why.
Donald Trump doesn’t want to be blamed for the redistricting loss if the new map passes, so he will stay far away.
Democrats must have hoped that Trump would show up in the state because he is deeply despised in Virginia.
The Trump DOGE layoffs cost Virginia 23,500 jobs, but the economic impact was far worse.
On average, each federal employee earns about 1.6 times the average private sector employee,” said Bob McNab, chairman of the economics department at Old Dominion University. “When we include benefits, that ratio jumps to two. So the loss of 23,500 federal government jobs in Virginia last year is roughly the equivalent of losing 47,000 private sector jobs.”
As it stands now, it appears that Trump and Johnson are fighting an uphill battle in Virginia.
