NoVA underwrites the rest of the state.

And most of the federal jobs in VA are with defense - DOD, individual branches, IC, etc - full of white male veterans who largely vote for Republicans.

Plenty of MAGA feds live in Hampton Roads, parts of which are almost completely dependent on federal government jobs and money.

Virginia is one of the most dependent on federal employment, and the only way to cut the budget seriously is to cut DOD employment and funds. And if you don't want NATO, you don't really need the massive DOD expenditures anymore.


Trump is bluffing about NATO. He will beef up DoD especially space programs.

Obviously Youngkin cares about Youngkin, not Virginia.

Did you see the Jobs Report? They can get jobs in the private sector when corporations bring people back to the office.

Thank you Virginia for ejecting a pos that of course doesn’t give a crap about your economic development.

Youngkin is trying to set himself up with MAGAS for a run in 2028 for president which is a joke because he couldn't even carry Virginia.
