Trump’s political advisers believe he must win Florida, Ohio and North Carolina – states that polls and analysts say are toss-ups and where Biden is competing. And he needs a combination of the Midwest states that gave him the presidency in 2016 – Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – where Biden now holds an advantage. “He’s going to need to win all of the states we have as toss-ups plus a couple of states we have leaning to Biden at this point,” said J Miles Coleman, a data analyst at UVA’s Center for Politics.
For months, the Republican governor has been honing his talking points about dysfunction in Washington and the need for political leaders to set aside partisanship to work for the greater good. Add his targeted criticisms of President Donald Trump, a refusal to support U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, the publishing of a political memoir, and his write-in vote for Ronald Reagan for president, and some say Hogan looks like a man with an eye on the White House.

Abigail Spanberger faces Del. Nick Freitas (R-Culpeper), while Elaine Luria is in a rematch with former congressman Scott Taylor (R).
