Trump and Mike Johnson are desperately attempting to save lots of the Home of Representatives earlier than Virginia votes on a brand new map

Trump and Mike Johnson are desperately trying to save the House of Representatives before Virginia votes on a new map

Virginia could be the next domino to fall Trump’s epic failure to rig the midterm elections.

Donald Trump, the “stable genius” who devised a plan to keep the House of Representatives under Republican control by getting red states to redraw their maps, is teaming up with his No. 1 lackey, House Speaker Mike Johnson, to try to lure Republicans to the polls to take part in tomorrow’s election in Virginia that could give Democrats four additional House seats in November.

Trump is apparently so lazy that he couldn’t actually be persuaded to hold a rally in Virginia to get the vote, but there are a few important factors behind this.

Donald Trump doesn’t want to be blamed for the redistricting loss if the new map passes, so he’ll stay away.

Democrats must have hoped that Trump would show up in the state because he is deeply despised in Virginia.

Trump DOGE layoffs cost Virginia 23,500 jobs, but the economic impact was much worse.

VPM Media reported:

On average, each federal government employee earns about 1.6 times as much as the average private sector employee,” said Bob McNab, chair of the economics department at Old Dominion University. “When we factor in benefits, that ratio jumps to two.” The loss of 23,500 federal government jobs last year in Virginia is roughly equivalent to the loss of 47,000 private sector jobs.”

At the moment it looks like Trump and Johnson will have a tough fight in Virginia.
