President Donald Trump sought Tuesday morning to push Virginia voters to the polls, slamming the record of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam while heaping praise on Republican Ed Gillespie.
Ralph Northam will allow crime to be rampant in Virginia. Hes weak on crime, weak on our GREAT VETS, Anti-Second Amendment and has been horrible on Virginia economy. Vote @EdWGillespie today! the president wrote in a series of posts to Twitter.
@EdWGillespie will totally turn around the high crime and poor economic performance of VA. MS-13 and crime will be gone. Vote today, ASAP! Trump added in a third post.
The presidents online posts came amid a five-country, 13-day trip to Asia, one that has already taken him to Japan and South Korea.

(182,271 posts)Trump thinking he helps anyone or the anti-Northam NRA ads in which Northam is seen saying he has a D minus rating with the NRA and the voice over says WRONG! He has an F!
Do they really think that's a negative for Northam?

This worries me that it's going to discourage people from voting.

(51,129 posts)Ed managed to keep his distance from Trump quite well. Now very unpopular Trump burns him down with his support on election morning.
