Trump hints at potential Arlington visit for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin

Former president Donald Trump on Wednesday teased the idea of making an appearance in Arlington on behalf of Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, stirring all sides of Virginia politics during the final days of the race.
“Chanting, ‘We love Trump!’ in Arlington, Va. Thank you, Arlington, see you soon!" Trump said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon, a day after President Biden campaigned for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe in the blue county.
Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich tweeted shortly after that the “MAGA movement will be delivering a major victory to Trump-endorsed businessman” Youngkin, and Trump looked forward to visiting Virginia, with further details to be released “when appropriate.” ... Another Trump spokesman did not answer questions about the message.

Trump is not expected to travel to Virginia before Election Day, according to two people familiar with his plans. ... The statement came after Biden made his second McAuliffe campaign appearance of the year, where he and McAuliffe aimed to tie Youngkin to Trump, who lost Virginia by 10 points in the 2020 election.
Shortly after Biden began speaking Tuesday night, protesters interrupted the president but were quickly drowned out by chants of “We love Joe!” ... “It’s not a Trump rally. We let them holler,” Biden responded, as a few individuals were walked out by security.
