Trump campaigns in New Mexico and Virginia as election nears

Donald Trump is campaigning in New Mexico and Virginia, states where Republicans have not won presidential elections in years. He visited Albuquerque on Thursday and plans to be in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday, diverging from traditional battleground states. Trump's team is optimistic about early voting numbers, believing he can compete against Democrat Kamala Harris, especially in New Mexico. However, both states have leaned Democratic in recent elections, with Trump losing them in 2016 and 2020. Virginia has shifted toward Democrats, particularly in northern suburbs. Trump aims to address voter registration issues during his visit, while Democrats have significantly outspent Republicans on ads in the state.
