Earle-Sears targets Spanberger's connection to Biden's 'national security' risk

Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R-VA) argued that former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) could not be trusted to protect Virginia, citing her connection to former President Joe Biden and the “national security” risk he posed to the nation.

Earle-Sears and Spanberger are the respective Republican and Democratic nominees for Virginia’s 2025 gubernatorial election, with Earle-Sears targeting Spanberger’s record in Congress ahead of the election. This month, multiple reports on the 2024 election said Biden did not have the mental acuity to continue serving in office, something Earle-Sears argued “everybody knew,” including Spanberger, before the reports came out.
