The Congressional races — with the possibility that flipping Virginia districts could gain Democrats control of the House of Representatives — are what’s drawing the bulk of donor attention, said Stephen Farnsworth, emeritus professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington.
“It is clear that most donor money is going to midterm Congressional races, where it can make a difference for control of Congress,” he said.
“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.
“Over the last six months, you have seen voters really turn against the idea of data centers,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington. “The public is way ahead of a lot of elected officials on data center issues,” said Stephen Farnsworth.
Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington, said that the ruling removed a key barrier to the president’s plan to build a new White House ballroom. “While there are other legal strategies that remain possible, the project may be finished before the Supreme Court faces this question again,” Farnsworth said.
University of Mary Washington political science professor emeritus Stephen Farnsworth said political donations wouldn’t be given if they didn’t have some kind of return, but officials can avoid accusations of bias, at least in this case, by passing the buck to regulators. “Take money as people are willing to give it to you and leave the decision in the hands of the State Corporation Commission,” Farnsworth said.
“The results from this poll pretty much correspond with what everybody thinks is going to happen politically in Maryland,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington.
