8:29Now PlayingFormer Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe said the state's voters, many of them federal workers, will take out their frustration with the shutdown and the state of the local economy on Trump and Republicans in today's election.
Democrat Abigail Spanberger, 46, and Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, 61, are vying to replace the term-limited Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican. Whoever wins the election will become the first female governor of the commonwealth, home to the Pentagon, Central Intelligence Agency and hundreds of thousands of military and civilian federal workers.
Spanberger, a former CIA officer and congresswoman, has staked her campaign on the local economy, arguing that Trump has made it more uncertain and expensive. Earle-Sears, the state’s lieutenant governor, has focused on social issues that appeal to Trump supporters and paint Democrats as out of step with the broader electorate.
