A tradition of anti-incumbency votes illustrates that; nine of Virginia's past 10 gubernatorial elections have been lost by the president's party.
A few hours later, his rival, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, showcased the power of the state's Democratic machine at his disposal as he campaigned in voter-rich northern Virginia with three power hitters beloved by state Democrats: Gov. Terry McAuliffe and the commonwealth's two USA senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. His interest in politics began as a senior in college, when he was granted an internship on Capitol Hill, promoting policies and ideas for the Republican Party. Frank Wagner of Virginia Beach.
Here's a look at the issues and priorities that each candidate have articulated during the campaign.
In Virginia, meanwhile, Perriello's unexpected entry into the governor's race challenged the 60-year-old governor's plan to place an ally at the helm of a state that limits governors to a single four-year term. According to the most recent Washington Post opinion polling, the two are locked in a neck-and-neck battle statewide while leading Northam by a margin of almost three to one in south-west Virginia. Northam has emphasized his biography - rural upbringing, Army veteran, and pediatric neurologist - as well as his bona fides with key progressive groups that make up the Democratic base. (Northam now calls it a "right.") Perriello received an "A"-rating from the NRA as a congressman and voted for the anti-abortion "Stupak amendment" to the Affordable Care Act". Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam has not strolled to the nomination, as many had expected. Mr Perriello is, by his own admission, an insider pitching for the outsider vote.
"Politicians have to be straightforward", Northam said.
For the Democrats, it's Ralph Northam and Tom Perriello. He was special adviser to the prosecution of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and served as special envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo under the Obama administration.
"Is all of this protest energy going to turn into votes at the polls, or is this something where we've figured out how to march every weekend but not quite how to march to the polls", said Perriello, who is backed by prominent national Democrats like U.S. Sens.
The race has been framed as a reboot of the Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton contest, but the comparison is not a flawless fit. Stewart's campaign has mostly been composed of attacks on undocumented workers, defense of Confederate monuments, and oaths of fealty to the president.
Virginia voters will decide the nominees for both parties for governor and lieutenant governor tomorrow.
But not only did Perriello not take their money, he has vowed to stop the company's efforts to build pipelines in the state.
Tara Moore from the Poquoson registrar's office said there have not been any problems in the city and that it's been a normal day overall. She's pitching herself as a candidate for lieutenant governor who would be able to work with Democrats in the legislature and even - possibly - a Democrat in the Executive Mansion.
Born and raised in Mount Holly, New Jersey, Ed Gillespie moved to Washington, D.C., to attend the Catholic University of America.
Stewart, despite the fact that his run is in many ways a clone of the Trump campaign, also does not enjoy the support of the President. He's now running a similar blow-up-the-system campaign. "I think we have seen a lot of folks moving towards the left", says Fury. As a Republican candidate, many in-party voters and opponents are questioning why he has never quite fully addressed Trump on his campaign trail.
