Donald Trump Crossed the Rapidan

AP Photo/Brynn Anderson Historical parallels are always there for the thoughtful. Consider a key turning point for each of two former US presidents. Union General Ulysses S. Grant crossed the Rapidan River in Virginia on 4 May 1864 – 157 years ago this very week – to commence the Overland Campaign in order to engage and destroy Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia in a series of bloody battles that ended on 12 June when the siege of Petersburg began. With the stakes equally high for the country, Donald Trump crossed his own Rapidan to commence his version of the Overland Campaign when he started down that escalator on 15 June 2015 and declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. This past Monday, that campaign continued with the latest battle as he labeled the 2020 election “The Big Lie.”

Editorial: An all-NoVA ticket for Democrats?

If the Virginia Democratic Party establishment has its way, the party will nominate a ticket comprised entirely of Northern Virginians. Even if the party establishment doesnât have its way, the party might still nominate a ticket comprised entirely of Northern Virginians â the front-runners from governor and attorney general are from there, and so are four of the six candidates for lieutenant governor. Is this wise? The answer to that might depend on whether you live in Fairfax County or Franklin County. Hereâs what we can say with more certainty: This has never happened before. The fact that it might happen now underscores the demographic and electoral trends that are remaking Virginia.
