Donald Trump plans to hold a tele-rally for Republican Glenn Youngkin on Monday night, a day before the Virginia gubernatorial election, according to a person familiar with his plans.

The former president on Wednesday teased the possibility that he would campaign in Virginia before the election, but will do the tele-rally, typically a call with supporters to generate support for the candidate, the person said.

The rally comes as Democrat Terry McAuliffe, the former Virginia governor running against Youngkin, former co-CEO of Carlyle Group Inc., has sought to tether the two Republicans. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden appeared at a McAuliffe campaign rally in Arlington, Virginia, where he repeatedly jabbed his predecessor.

Biden won Virginia by 10 points last November. Polls show the race in a dead-heat in the final stretch after McAuliffe had previously held a consistent lead.

1. Woo hoo!!!

I hope it's carried on all the news networks!

The McAuliffe people are probably high-fiving right now!

[bottomofthehill]

2. He thinks he is backing a winner and wants to claim victory

That’s some scary shit.

[gratuitous]

4. No, it's the standard Trump dodge

If Youngkin pulls it out, Trump will claim credit for his victory.

When Youngkin loses by 10 points or more, Trump will say that Youngkin could have won if he'd just listened to Trump. Trump gets to claim victory either way.

3. Cowardly Trumpian hedge suggests they don't know where the race is

If McAuliffe loses, of course Trump will take credit. If he wins, Trump will excoriate Youngkin for only allowing him to do a tele-rally, where an in-person would have pushed him over the top. This is like when Trump did a Florida rally to sorta support that dipshit in Alabama.

5. Wonder if Anonymous will be on the case

6. My prediction...

The fuckin guy spends 90% of the time crying about his '20 loss and other perceived persecutions against him.

[peggysue2]

8. This!

Because it's always about Trump and his grievance.

18. Dammit! You stole my planned reply!

I swear to God...even the 90% content!

7. Phoning it in

Youngkin is pretty much going full Trump this last week. It’s a GOTV thing mostly to counter dumbass telling his cult not to vote.

11. What do you think, Pants?

How is southside looking? Fairfax and Arlington are solid, but Loudon and Prince William may be iffy. What do you see your way?

[underpants]

13. Eh

I’ve got a bad feeling about this. Terry hasn’t run a very good campaign. Youngkin started pouring money out early. He was everywhere that I saw and Terry wasn’t.

As usual it will be about getting out the vote. I’ve saw a great analysis on Twitter that said Youngkin is going to have get at least 42 in Loudon or Fairfax to have a chance. My question is does Youngkin get a big turnout in Chesterfield? Chesterfield traditionally absorbs Henrico since it turned blue in 2008.

Lots of Youngkin signs especially large ones on commercial property on the main drags around here. Last week I saw a guy with a Youngkin sign just waving to traffic. I sense a lot of energy on Youngkin side. The media Terry is getting is mostly bad. The comment about parents and schools at the debate normally would be a campaign crusher but we’ll see.

I think Republicans consistently are under polled. They don’t trust anything media related so I doubt they answer polls and or lie. The off off year election is nothing new but I don’t hear a lot of chatter about the race.

Hopefully I’m wrong.

14. I'm worried as well.

Besides the fucking "we need a horse race" press, I've also noticed a huge influx of Terry ads in NOVA recently.
This should be secure territory for the good guys, but we're spending money up here.
Hopefully we're both wrong.

[underpants]

15. Well two sides to that

I’ve noticed Terry turning on the ad gas recently everywhere. My family tells me he is all over YouTube right now. Maybe he was waiting until the end and just drown it.

This never made sense to me but it is confirmed - campaign managers get paid more the more they spend. I guess it’s to make sure they empty everything. Maybe that explains the ads. As you know NOVA with some other cities can win the whole state so more there covers the rural red areas.

9. How can we JAM the Tele-Rally.

Someone check on Reddit.

[11 Bravo]

10. Tele-Rally. TFG won't set foot in VA.

Also, he'll time his chickenshit toe-dip for the day before the election, so McAullife won't have time to use his appearance in campaign ads.
Lard Butt is a liar AND a coward.

[Tommy Carcetti]

12. Oh Donald, weren't you the one who mocked Joe Biden for doing this?

Should we start calling you "Basement Donald"?

[FloridaBlues]

16. Terry has to win decisively otherwise younkin will contest and demand audits for months.

Can’t believe this may even be close, another republican with no experience thinking they know how to run government.

[FelineOverlord]

17. The new Fox News poll

Has Youngkin leading by 8 points.

I think these are people who haven’t voted yet? Not early voters?
