Virginia has voted for two democratic governors in a row and has voted democrat in every presidential election since 2008 so let’s talk to Trump voters (10 months after Biden beat Trump there by 10)

“We went to Maryland, who has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1988 and where Joe Biden crushed Trump by 33 and we spoke to… some Trump voters” - soon
I wouldn’t be so harsh about these stories if the press spent a lot of time talking to democrats in places like Utah or South Carolina, or even in states that flipped like Georgia and Arizona, but they don’t. (and they have ignored the flip in New Mexico and Nevada too)
And it’s not that they shouldn’t cover Trump voters. It’s a legit journalistic topic. But the coverage tilts in favor of one group by far.
Virginia used to be GOP safe ground. It was the heart of the confederacy. In the last 15 years it has come to be dominated by Democrats. But it never gets covered that way.
(And not conservative WV style Democrats even but standard issue Democrats who in some respects have started leaning even more left)
