Glenn Youngkin, is embarking on an exciting bus tour\u2064 across the commonwealth of Virginia. This tour is a crucial part of the governor&#8217;s early voting push ahead of the General Assembly elections, which \u200dwill determine the party control of each chamber.<\/p>\n<p>If Virginians elect\u2064 a Republican-led state Senate and\u2064 House, Youngkin will \u2063have a much easier time delivering on his 2021 campaign promises \u200cand\u200d passing key legislation. Currently, only the \u200blower chamber is under GOP control.<\/p>\n<h3>Encouraging Early Voting \u2064and Republican Support<\/h3>\n<p>The bus tour,\u2063 set to launch on Labor Day, will traverse the\u2064 state, urging \u2063people not \u2062only to vote \u200dRepublican but also to do so early or absentee. This strategic \u200cmove by Republicans is gaining momentum and aims to secure more \u2063votes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are going everywhere and competing \u2064for every single vote because we know that Governor Youngkin\u2019s common sense agenda is resonating and delivering. Virginians want leaders in Richmond \u200bwho will work with Governor \u200cYoungkin to\u200b lower the cost of living, restore excellence in\u2063 education with parents at the head of the table, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/l-a-county-d-a-gascon-dismantles-hardcore-gang-unit-for-new-public-health-approach\/\" title=\"L.A. County D.A. Gasc\u00f3n Dismantles Hardcore Gang Unit For New \u2018Public Health Approach\u2019\">improve public safety<\/a> in our \u2062communities. That is the message we are taking across \u2063the Commonwealth as we kick off this bus tour to encourage folks \u2062to make\u2063 sure their voice is heard in this critical election through Secure Your Vote Virginia,\u201d said Dave Rexrode,\u200c chairman\u200b of the Spirit of Virginia PAC.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The tour will\u2064 commence at \u200ca Labor Day event in Suffolk, Virginia, featuring \u200dDel. Emily Brewer, a candidate for Virginia state Senate, and Mike Dillender, running to be a delegate in House District 84.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout \u2062the tour, the bus will make several\u200b stops across Virginia, with Youngkin accompanying the PAC&#8217;s bus tour. He\u200d will campaign alongside Republican General Assembly candidates, particularly in key districts.<\/p>\n<p>This bus tour follows\u200c Youngkin&#8217;s launch\u200c of the &#8220;Secure Your Vote Virginia&#8221; web portal in July, which aims to \u200cfacilitate early and absentee voting. The portal provides instructions, important dates, and information for voters.<\/p>\n<p>The Spirit\u2062 of \u2063Virginia tour bus will prominently display a QR code that directs people to the Secure Your Vote Virginia \u200dweb portal, making it easy for them to sign\u200c up for absentee voting.<\/p>\n<h3>National Democrats Concerned About Youngkin&#8217;s Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Youngkin&#8217;s efforts\u2064 to\u200d promote state elections are causing concern among national Democrats as Virginia, once reliably blue, shows signs of a Republican resurgence.<\/p>\n<p>Senators Mark Warner and \u2062Tim Kaine recently expressed alarm over what they perceive as relative \u2064inaction\u200c by national Democrats in response to Youngkin&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-lt-gov-winsome-earle-sears-criticizes-school-districts-defying-youngkins-guidance\/\" title=\"Virginia Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears slams school districts for defying Youngkin's guidance.\">early voting campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo much is at stake in terms of controlling the legislature, and I just \u2063don\u2019t see that same national energy, candidly, from the White House, on how important Virginia could be not\u200d just this year, but next as well,\u201d Warner told NBC News.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kaine, a former governor, added, \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s the same national \u2064donor focus on Virginia as Gov. Youngkin is pushing\u200c on the Republican side. We may be battleground leaning blue, but \u200dwe\u2019re not \u2063a blue state. \u2064And \u2063that means electoral votes have \u200cto be fought for every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaine will be up for\u2062 reelection to the\u200d Senate in 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Countermeasures<\/h3>\n<p>State Democrats are not\u2062 sitting \u200bidly \u2064by and are actively countering Youngkin&#8217;s efforts. In July, the party launched \u201cThe Majority Project,\u201d a seven-figure early voting campaign with over 100 paid organizers working across Virginia. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youngkin-launches-early-voting-bus-tour-ahead-of-pivotal-virginia-elections\/\" title=\"Youngkin kicks off early voting bus tour for crucial Virginia elections.\">project began preparations months<\/a> in \u200badvance, ensuring organizers were in place\u200d ahead of July. In\u2062 previous cycles, efforts did not start until mid-July.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Democrats in the commonwealth released an ad cautioning Virginians against electing Republicans to the state&#8217;s General Assembly. The ad claimed that if Republicans were \u2063elected, abortion laws would become as restrictive as those in Tennessee, West Virginia, Florida, and South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM \u200bTHE\u2064 WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: Gov.
