President Donald Trump is doing what he can to make sure that Republicans come out on top in the upcoming elections in New Jersey and Virginia. 

Fox News reports that Trump recently made a "multimillion-dollar investment" in the statewide elections.

That's not to mention other money that Trump put into the races - on top of the fact that Trump has campaigned for Republican candidates in both states.

Trump opens war chest

Fox reports that Trump has given Republican candidates over $1 million from his "war chest."

Per the outlet:

Trump's political team is making a withdrawal from the president's massive political war chest, with New Jersey and Virginia each receiving roughly $1 million for get-out-the-vote microtargeting efforts, Fox News confirmed this weekend.

Trump did lose both New Jersey and Virginia in the 2024 presidential election, but there are signs that the Republican candidates in the various races have a decent shot at winning, which is one of the reasons why Trump is trying to get them over the line.

The president has recently stumped for both the New Jersey and Virginia.

Fox News, for example, separately reported:

President Donald Trump and Gov. Glenn Youngkin headlined a Thursday tele-rally for the entire Virginia Republican ticket, as the commander-in-chief has yet to formally endorse Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears’ gubernatorial bid.

Obama steps in

High-profile Democrats, such as former President Barack Obama, are trying to make their own impact on the outcome of these races.

The Hill reports:

Former President Obama is hitting the campaign trail this weekend to try to boost his party in off-year elections. Getting Obama, the party’s biggest star, on the road is an effort to ensure voters get to the polls, though there are questions about whether the former president still has the kind of standing to make a mark with voters in getting them out to vote.

Indeed. Obama's endorsement didn't seem to matter much in the 2024 elections.

Obama is also stumping online. In one recent message, he wrote:

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @MikieSherrill for Governor. Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

Obama has also targeted Trump.
