Speaker Mike Johnson will spend election eve campaigning in two key House districts in Virginia, exclusively telling The Post that the \u201croad to maintaining and expanding our majority runs directly through Virginia, where we have two candidates who will win and deliver results for Commonwealth families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Speaker plans to host events for Republicans Derrick Anderson, who is vying for an open seat, and freshman Rep. Jen Kiggans, and he will be accompanied by some special guests, the New York Post reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongresswoman Kiggans is a champion for veterans, our troops, and military families and works across the aisle to fight for Virginia\u2019s 2nd District. Green Beret Derrick Anderson has served our country and will be a strong voice for Virginia\u2019s 7th District to secure our border, fix our economy, and restore peace through strength,\u201d Johnson told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter campaigning in more than 250 cities across 40 states, I look forward to turning out the vote across Virginia on the eve of the most important election of our lifetimes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Former President Donald Trump\u00a0opened his Salem, Va., rally Saturday night with a bold prediction: \u201cI\u2019m here today in this incredible commonwealth for one very simple reason \u2014 because I believe we can win Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though a Republican presidential contender hasn\u2019t won Virginia in two decades, the GOP made significant gains there in 2021, where the party\u2019s candidates won the governorship, the lieutenant governorship, and the state attorney general\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

In Spotsylvania, Johnson will rally for Anderson with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, among other speakers, The Post reported.<\/p>\n

Anderson is in a tight race against Democrat Eugene Vindman, who gained national recognition in 2019 as a whistleblower during the first impeachment attempt against Trump, which was prompted by the Ukrainian-born candidate\u2019s reporting of a phone call between the former president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. His twin brother, Alexander, testified before Congress regarding the matter.<\/p>\n

The race is viewed as one of the Republicans\u2019 best opportunities to flip a seat and maintain their narrow House majority. Incumbent Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger is not running for reelection, as she has decided to campaign for Virginia governor in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
