Dr. Stephen Farnsworth, Professor of Political Science at the University of Mary Washington, says that this race will come down to one issue – Donald Trump.
“To a considerable degree this congressional election in VA-07, like in other places, will be a referendum on the voter preferences regarding the presidential candidates,” said Dr. Farnsworth. “Rep. Spanberger was elected in part because of frustration with President Trump in 2018, and whether the suburban anger directed at the president two years ago remains as intense in 2020 is the key question that will be answered in November.”
