“Momentum in the commonwealth during this final stretch of the election season is fully on the side of Republicans, and Vice President Pence will help to carry the widespread grassroots enthusiasm right into Election Day,” RSLC President Austin Chambers said in a statement.
Matt Harringer, a spokesman for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, said in a statement that his group hopes “every Virginia Republican in a competitive race will attend the rally and join hands with their party’s right-wing leader.”
“It’s unclear if local Republicans actually think Vice President Pence will be helpful or if the Washington-based RSLC is forcing his presence on them in exchange for funding their campaigns,” Harringer said.
A recent poll from Virginia Commonwealth University found that 47 percent of respondents said they would prefer Democrats to control the General Assembly, while 46 percent said they would prefer Republicans.
