DNC places billboard targeting JD Vance at VA rally

The Democratic National Committee is set to deploy a mobile billboard hitting Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance outside of his first solo rally in Radford, Va. on Monday. 

The billboard will tie Vance to the conservative governing agenda Project 2025 and hit him over his past remarks on abortion. 

The Hill was the first outlet to report on the DNC’s latest effort in Virginia. 

“Ahead of JD Vance’s first solo campaign rally, it’s important to remember that Virginians have already rejected an extreme abortion ban once, and they will do it once again in November,” said DMC spokesperson Addy Toevs. “The Trump-Vance ticket’s extreme, anti-abortion, anti-women message has proven to be unpopular with voters in Virginia and across the nation.”

The move comes as polls show an increasingly tight race in Virginia, which has not been won by a Republican at the presidential level since 2004. A number of polls out last week showed Trump and President Biden within 2 to 5 points of each other in the state. 

However, Republicans could be looking at a very different race now that Biden had dropped out of the race and Vice President Harris will lead the party’s ticket in November.
