From the Democratic Party of Virginia:
DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker’s Statement on Trump’s Visit to Salem
“This visit is another tired Trump gimmick to counter that his show has grown stale in the core battlegrounds, as his crowd sizes have plummeted and exhausted people walk out of his rallies. Trump is looking for fresh crowds in New Mexico and Virginia to rant and rave about conspiracies like Glenn Youngkin’s false conspiracy theories about voting.
Trump has done the same last-minute stunts in places like New Mexico in 2016 and Minnesota in 2020, only to get crushed. Virginians see through his empty theatrics—they keep rejecting his chaos every time and our Democratic performance in early vote shows we will reject him strongly again. Democrats are crushing it in early voting with big turnout surges, backed by a real ground game of nearly 200 staff, 25,000 volunteers, and over two million doors knocked.
While Trump clings to his smoke-and-mirror campaign, Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot are winning the votes of Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans, and will win convincingly.”
