Following her 15-point win in the Old Dominion, Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) sent a letter to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors, asking members to halt their search for the school’s next president.

Spanberger’s move drew sharp criticism from current Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), who wrote his successor a letter calling her outreach to the Board of Visitors a “breach of protocol.”
