Despite a threat issued Friday by the Trump-hating Lincoln Project to dog the campaign of Republican candidate for Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin with more appearances by Tiki torch bearing Democrats after Friday’s debacle in Charlottesville where the group, working with Virginia Democrat activists, sent a Black man as part of a “White supremacist” false flag operation targeting Youngkin, no sightings of Tiki torches were seen at a huge early morning Youngkin rally in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.
Who did show up was hundreds of fired-up Youngkin supporters for an 8 a.m. rally in deep blue Alexandria, Virginia Saturday. The turnout confirms what local observers have been reporting for weeks of a surge in Youngkin campaign signs popping in the Democrat stronghold.
Went to Alexandria, VA for lunch today and saw A LOT of Youngkin signs—that is, many more than I would’ve predicted.

The plural of yard sign [sightings] is not data, of course, so do with that anecdotal evidence as you please. 🤷🏼♀️

For now, it's a bit of an outlier–though between the LV/RV gap and the trendline, it's not exactly coming from nowhere. We'll get more clarity over the next few days–maybe WP, Monmouth, CBS/YouGov–so be patienthttps://t.co/LoYCS1wz3k
