Republicans are urging GOP supporters to take part in early in-person voting and absentee balloting despite criticisms from former President Donald Trump.
GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin has an urgent message for Republicans ahead of Tuesday's crucial legislative elections in Virginia, a closely watched 2024 bellwether. 'When Republicans vote, Republicans win. When we turn out, we win,' Youngkin said as he spoke to a crowd of veterans at VFW Post 4809 in Norfolk, Virginia. 'We’ve got to get the vote out.
Asked if his message is resonating, Youngkin highlighted in a Fox Digital interview that 'there’s a lot of people who’ve voted early. And across the state, we've seen an uptick in early voting and absentee ballot and particularly in our battleground districts, we've seen a really good movement.' Youngkin's mission is shared by the Republican National Committee , and national party figures are keeping a close eye on the rising GOP star's efforts.
But the former president also continues to bash early voting and absentee balloting. During a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity in August, Trump said he would encourage Republicans to vote early, but he also claimed people make 'phony ballots' and charged 'a lot of bad things happen to those ballots.' In the 2018 midterms, Democrats accounted for 41% of early votes in the 24 states that provide partisan data, a six-point advantage over Republicans' 35.
In Virginia, both major political parties have raised and spent big bucks on the Commonwealth's elections. Democrats have infused millions into Virginia's elections, with the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee pushing turnout through grassroots outreach, direct mail, robocalls and digital and TV ads.
'm asking for your vote. Elect a Republican team to back me up and I promise, we'll deliver,' Youngkin pledged in his closing TV commercial ahead of Election Day. The governor told Fox News, 'We get these folks off the sidelines, and we win. I've been really pleased with the turnout so far, people are voting and that's the most important thing.' Fox News' Brooke Singman contributed to this report.
