Former President Obama surprised staffers with doughnuts at a Democratic campaign office in Virginia on Monday.

Obama and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) brought doughnuts to the staff at a Fairfax campaign office during an event to support Virginia Democrats.

“She knows all of you have been working so hard,” Obama told the staffers. “You’ve been moving, so you’re allowed to have a little, little treat.”

“Either this crowd likes you or they like doughnuts,” Kaine joked.

Kaine, the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee, has held a double-digit lead over Republican Corey Stewart in the Senate race. 

Wexton is also carrying a 13-point lead over incumbent Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) ahead of Tuesday’s elections.
