A late appearance by Trump in Virginia would be a gift to McAuliffe, a disruption for Youngkin and a final test of how both campaigns have tried to navigate Trump and his polarizing powers.

Donald Trump’s proclamation that he’d “soon” visit Virginia as the state’s gubernatorial race comes to a close was so unexpected that few outside his inner orbit knew it was coming and the Republican candidate’s own campaign was left searching for details.

For months, McAuliffe has pleaded with Trump to join Youngkin on the campaign trail, knowing the appearance of the former president on behalf of Youngkin could serve as rocket fuel for driving Democrats to the polls in a state President Joe Biden won by 10 percentage points. Meanwhile, Youngkin has tried to emphasize the idea that he’s taking the opposite approach, publicly campaigning alone and without national Republicans by his side.

“I think it's obviously a concerted strategy to make this as much about Virginia as you can, and it’s a smart strategy,” Martin added. “Bringing in Trump would not help them one bit because a Democratic base that is unenthused and not that motivated, the one thing that could motivate them would be Donald Trump rolling up into Fairfax or southwest Virginia.”

But multiple people familiar with the dynamic said that while Trump hasn’t been told not to come, he hasn’t been invited to appear with Youngkin, either. And McAuliffe aides told POLITICO the campaign raised $500,000 on Wednesday, considerably more than it has on an average day down the final stretch of the race.

Trump is a loose cannon. Whatever he decides to do, it won't be for the benefit of Youngkin, the Republican party, Virginia or America. It will be done to benefit the only man Donald cares about, himself.

“His polarizing powers” he’s not a wizard lol a grand wizard maybe

Do the opposite of what is trying to prevent.

I love how scared the Democratic Party is right now.😂

Biden ties Republican in race for Va. governor to TrumpARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — President Joe Biden framed the Virginia governor’s race as a repudiation of his predecessor, tying the Republican candidate to former President Donald Trump as he campaigned Tuesday night for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in what's become a tight and increasingly bitter campaign. McAuliffe must feel that he is really down, and has nothing to lose. Virginia should do America a solid and vote for Terry McAuliffe.

Robert Costa: Trump was calling into Willard 'war room'Robert Costa and Bob Woodward join Morning Joe to discuss new reports that prior to the January 6 insurrection, Trump lieutenants Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and John Eastman were positioned in a Willard Hotel room with the goal of overturning the results of the 2020 election. The highest law enforcement in America is the DOJ and at this point Garland and the DOJ is useless when it comes to the Jan 6 attack, they are acting like unarmed security guards running away from the crimes in fear, the rule of law is a joke in America, justice is not equal. When I read articles like this it makes me aware that the future of America is in danger of collapse. Please tedlieu can you get word to POTUS that we feel Republicans are planning to finish off American values in the near future. Hope I'm wrong. MalcolmNance After all, if you remain president, why do you need to worry about plausible deniability?
