According to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), a nonpartisan nonprofit that provides accessible financial and campaign information for elections, in last week's presidential election — despite President-elect Donald Trump's performance in other Virginia counties and cities — the City of Manassas shifted more to the left, a trend not seen in many neighboring jurisdictions.
For example, Prince William County saw a shift to the right as Trump gained more votes in the county than he did in 2020. And, 124 out of Virginia's 133 counties shifted to the right compared to the 2020 election.
