Hope VA voters are as dumb as the MD voters. R governors budget surplus, D governors deficit.

Winsome is ready to step in and do a great job.

She has no chance of winning given her support of the federal job cuts and DOGE. If republicans actually pretended to care about feds losing their jobs and called a special legislative session to pass bills to support Virginias economy then she might have a chance. However, Youngkins tone deaf and pretentious response to the job losses has sealed her fate.

You won't believe this, but RoVA gets a vote too. I don't think RoVA has much tolerance for Yankee candidates.

Checking in from Hampton Roads, where lots of federal employees and contractors are getting DOGE’d. There’s a lot of blue in RoVA.

So will they just not vote at all? Sears is from the Bronx and Spanberger is from central Jersey (yes, it exists.) They both moved to Virginia in their teens.

+1 NoVA is not the only part of Virginia that’s getting hit hard by the federal government cuts which the current administration, including Sears, has a) cheered on and b) done nothing to help their constituents who are affected.

I've been a Virginia resident for 25+ years and have never voted for a Democrat for Governor.

I will vote for Abigail Spanberger over Winsome Sears in November, if that is the choice.

Enough of this Trump bullshit.

RoVA doesn't have the population to overcome what's sure to be a Spanberger landslide.

You're telling me RoVA's going to come out in droves to support a Black woman from The Bronx? Don't hold your breath.

That’s what they said in 2021. I’m nervous.

Youngkin, et al. were running against McAuliffe. Spanberger is no McAuliffe.

Now Winsome is trying to Criticize Sparnberger for hiding Biden’s poor health lol. This criticism is going to fall flat like a bag of bricks. VA voters don’t care about this anymore when they are losing their jobs and he is no longer president.

A governor has no say in federal RIFs.

Yeah but Spanberger at least wouldn’t be cheering them on as people on her own state lost their jobs! And she/a D Atty. General would be much more likely to sign on to lawsuits against this admin.

He can still talk to VA members of Congress and the president to push back on policies. The governor could also call a special session to get the legislature to pass bills to mitigate the impact of the layoffs. Right now, he is doing none of those things. The only thing he has done is said that he supports the layoffs and he made a website called Virginia had jobs. A minimum wage job making sandwiches (in Roanoke) 4 hours from your house in NOVA help you pay the bills when you were employed in medical research at the NIH.

So what? I remember thinking Democrats had it in the bag in fall of 2021, that’s what everyone in Nova was saying and that “we” had the population numbers to out vote the rest of Virginia. And then I had to make several trips down 95 to Richmond and the 757 during all of October and suddenly seeing all these Youngkin signs everywhere, esp in Richmond where people don’t typically put signs in their yards like they do inside the Beltway.

Women for Youngkin, Teachers for Youngkin, Farmers for Youngkin, Latinas for Youngkin, Unions for Youngkin, etc. It was nuts. And it confirmed that we are in such a bubble up here, and that attitude can hurt us. Then look at last year’s presidential election, and how Virginia was suddenly close.

I don’t think it’s a lock. Spanberger is not universally loved down in Richmond, and she comes across to a lot of people as boring and a flip flopper. She initially was advertised as a moderate when she ran for Congress and then has become more of a politician (which they all do at some point) bending her views towards the progressive.

Sears has been heavily campaigning where Spanberger has been ignoring, the less urban areas that DCUM snobs turn their nose at and don’t think matter. She has strong Hampton Roads ties, she’s an immigrant, and a vet.

I’m voting for Spanberger but I think this race is closer than we’d all like to admit.
