HARRIS HOLDS COMMANDING 10-POINT LEAD OVER TRUMP IN VIRGINIA: POLL
Liberty Law student Jesse Hughes shared a video to X earlier on Tuesday which has racked up over 60k views thus far.
"Huge line of students to vote at Liberty University," wrote X user @JesseHugesNC. "Students I talked to say this is the SHORTEST it’s been in a few hours."

The video shows several crowded halls on the Liberty University campus of students waiting to do their patriotic duty for the presidential election.
"The turnout at Liberty has big implications," said Hughes to Fox News Digital. "In 2020, only just over 2,000 students voted on campus."
"Today, we saw at least 4,000-7,000, if not more come out. The hype around this election from GenZ conservatives is strong and people are excited to vote for President Trump. If Virginia remains close, Liberty students play a role in that," added Hughes.
