Can I, as a self employed contractor that lives in VA, deduct my travel expenses on my sch C for a 2019 job I did in GA, even though the bGA job paid me via a W2 ?

No you cannot.

For the job in Georgia you were not a self-employed contractor, you were an employee. The income does not go on your Schedule C. And the new tax law eliminated the deduction for employee business expenses for 2018 through 2025.
