Following a break-in on Sunday at the Trump for President 2024 campaign headquarters in Virginia, authorities are currently conducting an investigation.
Trump’s campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia, was broken into, according to Loudoun County police. The primary office of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee is located in the 20000 block of Ashbrook Place.
Officers were dispatched to the location after the sheriff’s office received notification of the break-in about 9 p.m. on Sunday.

The sheriff’s office describes the suspect as a white adult man who is dressed in black clothing, a dark hat, and a backpack. Fox News stated that the suspect was captured on camera surveillance.
“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.
At Monday night, according to the sheriff’s office, no suspects had been taken into custody.
“We have not identified or located the individual in the photos and would appreciate any help from the public,” a spokesperson said.
This is in contrast to last week’s polls, which showed the race as practically deadlocked, which indicated that Trump is beginning to gain ground on Vice President Kamala Harris, according to two nationwide surveys.
According to polls from Rasmussen and CNBC, Trump leads Harris by 5% and 2%, respectively.
According to CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey, Trump leads Harris 48% to 46%. Voters strongly support Trump due to his handling of the economy, where he is favored by a margin more than two to one.
Furthermore, the outcomes are mostly in line with the CNBC survey from July, which showed Trump ahead of Biden 45% to 43%. This suggests that Harris’s fresh effort hasn’t hurt Trump’s standing among swing voters.
In a straight-up, the Rasmussen poll also shows that Trump is continuing to enjoy consistent support. But when RFK, an independent, is put on the ballot, Trump’s support jumps to 49%, up 3% from July, while RFK’s and Harris’s support drops by 1% and 2%, respectively. In the extensive study, President Trump has a sizable lead with a margin of error of +/- 2%.
“It is less now a referendum on Trump than it is a head-to-head competition between the two candidates,” said Micah Roberts, partner at the Republican firm Public Opinion Strategies who helped conduct the CNBC survey.
Voters, according to Democratic pollster Jay Campbell, a partner at Hart Research, truly believe that Harris is making up for her boss’s failures.
“She’s still carrying a lot of water for the administration,” Campbell said. “She has to answer for that and define herself independently…That’s a lot of baggage to carry when you’ve got a compressed time frame against a mature campaign on Trump’s side.”
Voters’ primary concerns remain the economy and immigration, two areas in which President Trump has a sizable advantage.
The vast majority of Americans think that a second Trump administration would be better for their financial circumstances.
Harris also has opposition from other Democrats in her party, with only 48% of them believing she would be a stronger economic steward and 42% saying it would make no difference.
