Donald Trump suggests Virginia leadership crisis will help Republicans win state back in 2020
President Donald Trump on Thursday morning suggested that Virginia's ongoing Democratic leadership crisis will help the Republicans win the state back in the 2020 elections.
"Democrats at the top are killing the Great State of Virginia,” he tweeted. “If the three failing pols were Republicans, far stronger action would be taken. Virginia will come back HOME Republican) in 2020!” Trump tweeted.
Trump's tweets comes after a series of shocking revelations that have rattled the Virginia Democratic Party. Days after Governor Ralph Northam was slammed for wearing blackface after a racist photo from his medical school yearbook emerged, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring on Wednesday revealed that he had once wore blackface too in the 1980s.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax has also found himself deeper into a scandal after the woman who has accused him of sexual assault released further details this week.
