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.”

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears is on the defensive in Virginia’s race for governor

Read full article: Republican Winsome Earle-Sears is on the defensive in Virginia’s race for governor

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears says she's running her campaign for Virginia governor like a military-style operation. And at this point, a few months away from the November election, it's looking like a campaign on the defensive. The lieutenant governor is facing a Democratic Abigail Spanberger, a former congresswoman who has more campaign money and a unified party behind her. 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.

Democrats in Virginia have built up a big fundraising advantage in this year's race for governor. It's an election seen as a bellwether for the 2026 midterms. The Democratic nominee is Abigail Spanberger, a congresswoman who is a former CIA case officer. She has a more than 2-to-1 fundraising edge over the Republican candidate, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. Virginia and New Jersey are the two states with statewide elections this year. The Democrats’ fundraising lead may reflect Democratic enthusiasm and the party's ability to push voters to the polls.

A Virginia Democrat hunts for votes in rural pockets where MAGA has strengthened its grip

Read full article: A Virginia Democrat hunts for votes in rural pockets where MAGA has strengthened its grip

Democrat Abigail Spanberger often campaigns in rural Virginia districts that President Donald Trump won by large margins. In the general election to be Virginia's next governor, she is competing for voters in places where Democrats have struggled in recent elections. Spanberger’s efforts to gain ground in ruby-red parts of Virginia come as Democrats have nationally shown more interest in small-town America. The terrain may be new for Democrats nationally but it's familiar ground for Spanberger. She hopes to benefit from growing concern about the impact of Trump's policies on rural areas.
