The dispute is over a broader effort dating back to Trump’s first term to control the narrative surrounding his presidency while bypassing a more critical mainstream media, says Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. “Over and over again, I think President Trump has really decided what he wants to do is tell the Trump story himself.”
Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington, said the fight over mail voting and concerns about Election Day could persuade more people to cast their ballots early. “President Trump’s continuing efforts to make voting harder, and the possibility of mayhem on Election Day, should really energize early voting in Virginia and around the country this fall,” Farnsworth said. “Virginians have already demonstrated a great willingness to vote early and this year may see even more interest.”
“Well, I think Mark Warner is one of the few Virginia Democrats who has been very effective across his political career in reaching out to the more centrist and more conservative voters,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington.
“Midterm elections are always tough for the president’s party, and Trump’s very low public approval numbers create a lot of challenges for people in districts like the Virginia Second,” said Stephen Farnsworth, an emeritus professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va.
