President Trump predicted Thursday that Virginia would once again become a Republican stronghold after the state’s top three Democrats have been mired in scandals related to abortion, the #MeToo movement, and their prior decisions to wear blackface.

“Democrats at the top are killing the Great State of Virginia. If the three failing pols were Republicans, far stronger action would be taken. Virginia will come back HOME Republican) in 2020!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning.
