Trump accused of 'literally phoning it in' after calling in to 'tele-rally' in swing state

Donald Trump was accused Sunday of "literally phoning it in" after calling in for a "tele-rally" in a swing state.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported over the weekend that the former president and Gov. Glenn Youngkin held a tele-rally in Virginia, which the New York Post has called a "surprise swing state."

Laura Vozzella, a Washington Post reporter covering politics in Richmond, said Trump and Youngkin urged "early voting while raising specter of voter fraud in Virginia" at the tele-rally.

Susan Swecker, chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia, said, "While Trump is literally phoning it in here in Virginia, Team Harris-Walz and Virginia Democrats are turning unmatched enthusiasm into action, highlighting the stark contrast between Vice President Harris' new way forward and Trump's extreme Project 2025 agenda that would give him unchecked authority over our daily lives, ban abortion nationwide, and raise taxes on families by nearly $4,000 a year."

Aaron Fritschner, Virginia communications for Vice President Kamala Harris and a former Democratic House aide, flagged the development on social media.

"It would take you more time to read this article than Trump spent talking during his long distance phone call to Virginia today," he said Sunday.
