Migration and Bloomberg cash. Thats how
Northern Virginia is a suburb of DC and thousands upon thousands of Northeast retirees have transplanted to the South, particularly Virginia. More are arriving everyday. I think Virginians are pissed and can make it close, but conservatives who don't normally vote will have to show up in droves.
Virginia just seems like a write-off for Republicans at this point. They should just focus on states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
And GOP complacency in that state. Last election, some 30 Democrats ran for state legislature seats unopposed.
Biden is campaigning hard in MI by his standards. I think he had three whole events with less than a hundred total attendees.
He defeated Bernie in those states with literally even stepping there.
It's possible Biden can win some rust belt states in the general, but I think Bernie lost those states more due to outing himself as a sellout in 2016 and also the progressive vote was split with Warren too.
Ok, so he defeats Bernie, the social democrat with shitty ideas that screw over the middle class, ok.
"ASK ME ABOUT MY LOVE FOR EUGENICS AND MARIO 3"
The fact that Biden has embraced and being embraced by Bush era neocons, is being used as a positive by his supporters. And the Bernie Bros and AOC simps apparently don't care about that either.
