NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump expressed confidence in his prospects for the upcoming 2024 presidential election, stating that he believes he has a chance to win traditionally Democratic-leaning states such as New Jersey and Virginia.
“I have a chance. I think I might win New Jersey, I think I might win Virginia,” Trump said during a recent public appearance. His comments come as he ramps up his campaign efforts in battleground states, with both Republican and Democratic strategists watching closely to assess shifts in voter sentiment.
New Jersey and Virginia have not been won by a Republican presidential candidate since the 1980s and early 2000s, respectively, with both states leaning Democratic in recent elections. New Jersey last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1988, while Virginia, once considered a swing state, has consistently voted Democratic in presidential elections since 2008.
Trump’s assertion highlights his campaign’s strategy of potentially expanding the electoral map to include states that have been considered solidly blue in recent cycles. Analysts remain skeptical of his chances in these states, noting that recent polling shows Democratic support remains strong.
Political observers will continue monitoring Trump’s campaign activities and polling numbers to gauge the likelihood of an upset in these Democratic strongholds.
