AREN'T THEY BOTH CIA, OBAMA AND SPANBERGER?
Former President Obama will campaign with Democratic Virginia gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger in Norfolk, Va., on Nov. 1, Spanberger’s campaign announced Tuesday.
Obama last campaigned in Hampton Roads in 2012. His upcoming campaign stop with Spanberger will mark the first campaign visit of any Democratic president to the area in more than 10 years.
The announcement comes less than a week after Obama cut two ads urging Virginia voters to back Spanberger in next month’s governor’s race.
“Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year,” Obama said in the ads.
Obama, one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party, is no stranger to Virginia off-year elections. The former president endorsed and campaigned for former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) in his unsuccessful 2021 bid for the governor’s mansion.
