Trump Establishing 11 Field Offices in Virginia?
As reported by WTOP and CBS on June 24, a Trump campaign memo “details that the [TRUMP] campaign is in the process of securing leases for eight. Trump Force 47 offices in Minnesota, and 11 campaign offices in Virginia.”
Trump Force 47 is the nickname for the joint effort between the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee’s grassroots volunteer canvassing program.”
The establishing of field offices in Virginia adds to the speculation that Virginia is “in play” as the rematch between President Joe Biden and fmr. President Donald Trump gets fully underway. Biden-Harris and Democrats have already opened several campaign offices in Virginia including locations in Virginia Beach, Hampton and in Prince William and are likely to open more.
