LIVE | Virginia Race Heats Up as Obama Backs Spanberger | Virginia Governor Election 2025 | US News
Former U.S. President Barack Obama rallied crowds for Virginia’s Democratic candidate for governor, Abigail Spanberger, just three days before Election Day on Saturday (November 1).
Obama offered an enthusiastic endorsement for Spanberger as he called out the policies and recent moves by U.S. President Donald Trump. “Our country and our politics are in a pretty dark place right now. It’s hard to know where to start. Because everyday, this White House offers up a fresh batch of lawlessness, and recklessness and mean-spiritedness and just plain craziness,” said Obama.
The former President also spoke out against congressional Republicans, as the government shutdown drags on. “They have not even been showing up to work. Not in session. Where are you? What are you doing?” Obama said.
He ended his speech by telling Virginians that electing Spanberger would “set a glorious example for the nation.”
Spanberger spoke to the crowd earlier in the day, making her closing argument for her candidacy. “We need a governor who will speak up when careless, chaotic, reckless economic policies out of Washington hurt our economy, raising costs for families, making it harder for small business owners to survive, and crushing Virginia’s farmers. We do not need someone who has been in lockstep with this administration every step of the way,” she said.
Spanberger, 46, a former congresswoman and CIA officer, has held a comfortable lead in opinion polls over her opponent, Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, 61.
