Why Virginia is the biggest test yet for whether Trump still motivates Democrats
CNN
Terry McAuliffe may be running against Glenn Youngkin, but his ultimate rhetorical opponent in the closing days of Virginia's off-year gubernatorial race is a Republican who lost a year ago.
And voters at McAuliffe's rally on Thursday evening with Vice President Kamala Harris clearly got the message.
"He is a bad photocopy of Trump," Nelson Zaragoza, a mechanic from Stafford, Virginia, said of Youngkin, comparing him to former President Donald Trump. "He supports everything that Trump has been trying to push, he is doing the same thing."

As US special forces carried out an audacious, night-time raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Friday night, President Donald Trump watched the action unfold from his estate at Mar-a-Lago. Among those at his side was Marco Rubio, his powerful secretary of state and national security advisor.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, by cutting his retirement pay for participating in a video where he and other Democratic lawmakers reminded US service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders.
