Staunton is a nice little city and the area, regardless of the politics, is really beautiful.

I had to go look,

Staunton:
Joseph R. Biden Democratic 6,981 53.74%
Donald J. Trump Republican 5,695 43.84%

Augusta County:
Joseph R. Biden Democratic 10,840 25.64%
Donald J. Trump Republican 30,714 72.65%
