Professor of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth
Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Leadership and Media Studies Stephen Farnsworth spoke to The Washington Post for an article titled “Youngkin embraces Trump but still plays coy on some MAGA policies.” In the article, Farnsworth says, “The governor is in a no-win situation when it comes to some of the things that Donald Trump has said and how well they will play in the commonwealth. If you go all-in on red-state politics, you lose a lot of support in purple Virginia.” Read more.

Harris and Trump on Campaign Trail (CTV News Canada)
This debate is absolutely vital for both of these campaigns. In the case of the vice president, she’s not as well known as Donald Trump or Joe Biden, and so part of this will be an introduction to a lot of voters… For Trump, the stakes are also very high. IT’s pretty clear that he’s been off his game in the last three weeks.
