Local politicians in Virginia seemed miffed about the reason of Trump's visit too. Because the event was put together at the last minute, arrangements for the general public to attend were not able to be made, according to the Roanoke Times.
"We know he’s coming, but we have not been advised on any particular issue," U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Salem, told the paper.
According to State Del. Terry Kilgore, R-Gate City, 1,000 tickets were made available to people through "internet requests," the paper reported.
In the latest state poll in Virgina, taken by CBS News and YouGov, Clinton led Trump by 12 points. That poll surveyed 1,181 likelly voters between August 2 and August 5 and had a margin of error of 3.7 percent.
Trump was still taking heavy criticism Wednesday for comments he made Tuesday in North Carolina.
"If she gets to pick her judges — nothing you can do, folks," he said. "Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."
