Who’s more excited to welcome this Trump ally to Virginia — Democrats or Republicans?
Read full article: Who’s more excited to welcome this Trump ally to Virginia — Democrats or Republicans?The Virginia governor's race may be the first political test of President Donald Trump's slashing of the federal workforce through DOGE. Virginia was hit hard by the cuts, with an estimated 23,000 people losing their jobs. The issue is getting extra attention as a Trump ally campaigns with Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears in suburban Richmond on Friday. Vivek Ramaswamy is a former Republican presidential contender who is now a candidate for Ohio governor. But it is Ramaswamy’s short-lived tenure as co-leader of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency that has Democrats fired up. Democrat Abigail Spanberger called on Earle-Sears to cancel the event in light of Ramaswamy’s role as “one of the chief architects of the DOGE effort.”

Earle-Sears has replaced a pastor with little political experience who had been her campaign manager. And her team has failed to gain traction with big money donors. An Earle-Sears victory would make her the first Black woman in U.S. history to serve as a governor.
