Virginia Hasn t Backed a Republican for President in Two Decades. Could It Flip in 2024? – WSJ

FRONT ROYAL, Va. Whether Virginia backs Donald Trump or Joe Biden shouldn t even be a discussion.

The state hasn t backed a Republican for president since George W. Bush in 2004.

But early polls showing Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, cutting into the Democratic president s lead have served as a wake-up call for Virginia Democrats, who acknowledge headwinds with voters dissatisfied with Biden s leadership. Republicans say that if Virginia is even remotely on the table for Trump, Biden is in serious trouble in traditional battleground states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
