NORFOLK, Va. — The Associated Press reports Vice President Kamala Harris has won the state of Virginia in the 2024 Presidential Election, continuing a trend of the state voting blue since 2008.
Larry Sabato, the director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, cited an October poll in a conversation with 13News Now that showed Harris leading Trump by 11%, and that the results were not shocking.
"[The poll] doesn't say much," Sabato had said. "I mean, every state is its own universe, and that's why we have this strange electoral college system. So the fact that one state is at 11 [points] and the other is maybe at seven or five or 10, we don't know. And the swing states, like North Carolina, have enormous expenditures right now. Virginia is not a swing state. We're nowhere near competitive. Yes, Harris will win Virginia. Remember, those other seven [swing states] will determine who wins. We're [Virginia] just there."
