FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - The off-year elections for the Virginia state legislature are often a quiet, little-noticed interlude before the frenzy of the U.S. presidential campaign. But not this year.
“No pressure, but the rest of us in the United States of America are counting on you,” Democratic presidential contender Beto O’Rourke told volunteers recently in Fredericksburg, a town rich in Civil War history 50 miles south of Washington D.C., before they headed out in a heavy rain to knock on voters’ doors.
Two conservative Southern states - Kentucky and Mississippi - will have elections for governor on Tuesday, and Trump will visit both in the days before the vote. A third, Louisiana, will hold its election for governor on Nov. 16. Virginia has been shifting to Democrats for at least a decade, powered by an influx of new residents and exploding growth in diverse suburban areas around the state’s cities and Washington D.C.
