1. "But he says the dynamics are very different this year compared to the last time he ran in 2021"

Yeah, they're different. In 2021, a Convicted Felon hadn't laid off tens of thousands of federal workers in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Hampton Roads, and the counties that collar Washington DC. You can best believe many of those former federal workers haven't forgotten which party tossed them out of their jobs.

We are less than four months out from election day here, and you have to really look around to find a Winsome Sears sign. In contrast, when we drove downstate three weeks ago (in what would be considered "red Virginia&quot , we saw several large "Farmers for Spanburger" signs, done in the same green background color and font as the "Farmers for Convicted Felon" signs last year. I 'm thinking some of the non-MAGA Rs in the areas really hit by the federal job cuts may cross over and vote blue, or just simply stay home.
