• John McGuire touts Trump endorsement as safe Virginia seat looks shakier (washingtonexaminer.com) — A high-profile congressional campaign stop in Powhatan put the town at the center of a closely watched race for Virginia's 5th District, with Rep. John McGuire leaning heavily on his support for Donald Trump. McGuire used the Powhatan event to defend Trump-era border, tax, and manufacturing policies, while Democrat Tom Perriello is pitching a contrasting message focused on healthcare and rural cost-of-living concerns.
