Chesterfield has always been a couple % more R in state level races relative to the statewide margin than in federal ones. VA Beach has actually tended to be a couple % more D in state level races than in federal ones. Kaine won VA Beach in 2005, but then Obama lost it in 2008. McAuliffe 2013 did better in VA Beach than Clinton 2016! I would be quite confident that Chesterfield flips first for a presidential candidate and by a larger margin if both flip.
Right now, I think Trump gets reelected after moving to the center with a Dem House, so I would clearly choose yes. I would only flip it if Northam is actually on the Dem ticket.
