Trump campaigns in New Mexico and Virginia as election nears

Donald Trump is campaigning in New Mexico and Virginia, diverging from key battleground states. He will hold events in Albuquerque and Salem, aiming to connect with voters in states that have not supported Republican presidential candidates since 2004. Trump's team is optimistic about early voting trends, believing he can compete against Democrat Kamala Harris. However, both states have leaned Democratic in recent elections, with Trump previously losing them in 2016 and 2020. Virginia has shifted toward Democrats, especially in northern suburbs. Trump’s visit comes amid significant Democratic ad spending, while local officials express confidence in Harris's lead.
