Virginians 'chose pragmatism over partisanship', says Spanberger after win
Democrat Abigail Spanberger to become Virginia's first female governor
RICHMOND — Democrat Abigail Spanberger has been projected as winning the race for Virginia governor after a closely-watched election which her party hoped could signal a national trend.The former congresswoman and CIA officer defeated the state's Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears.Virginia's leadership usually swings between Democrats and Republicans, meaning the outcome might serve as a bellwether for the electorate's mood going into next year's midterm elections.Democrats also picked up a win in a governor's race in New Jersey and another in New York City which elected its first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani.Even though his name was not on the ballot, the race in Virginia was being viewed as a referendum on President Donald Trump's...
