President Trump took his stump speech into a key "purple" state Friday, telling Virginians their Gov. "Thirty-nine days from now, we're going to win Virginia, we're going to win North Carolina," Trump said during the rally. Generally viewed as a purple state, Virginia backed former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by 5 percentage points over Trump in 2016. According to RealClearPolitics in FiveThirtyEight, former Vice President Biden has consistently led Trump in polling from the state. Despite receiving similar criticism in the past, the Trump campaign has held multiple rallies during the pandemic.
