CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA – Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears‘s campaign is having to carry on without her, with less than one week before Election Day, after Democrats’ surprise redistricting move called her back to Richmond.
The move from Democrats, the latest in a string of redistricting efforts from both parties, set off a wave of Republican outrage and confusion among voters gathered to see her at a campaign stop in the central part of the state. At a coffee shop in Charlottesville, where Earle-Sears had been scheduled to campaign Tuesday afternoon, her husband Terence Sears took the stage in her place, joined by Rep. John McGuire (R-VA) and Republican lieutenant governor candidate John Reid.
The event was the third one Earle-Sears has had to forgo due to the special session. Despite her absence, supporters packed the room, waving signs and snapping photos as the two men denounced a calculated political maneuver to keep the GOP’s top statewide candidate off the trail during her crucial final week.
McGuire told the crowd that Democrats “knew exactly what they were doing” by calling the General Assembly back into session.
“They called that special session this week right now so that she can’t be on the campaign trail,” he said, drawing shouts of agreement from the audience. “It’s election interference, plain and simple.”
He argued that Democrats were undermining the bipartisan redistricting process Virginians approved by referendum in 2020, warning that the move marked “a betrayal of the voters’ will.”
“Virginia had spoken,” he said. “Voters wanted to pick their elected officials, not have elected officials pick their voters. Now Democrats want to rewrite the rules in the middle of the game.”

So that would mean the Dems are conniving, deceitful, calculating dirtbags.
Like when they kept Trump in a drafty courtroom to sit there in person each day for their phony charges of lawfare against him so he couldn't appear out of state in important rallies during the election campaign.
I hope she wins against all odds.
I despise Democrats.
However much you despise them ...
It's not enough.
Fortunately, it didn't matter that much because he was still able to campaign on TikTok and X.
“So that would mean the Dems are conniving, deceitful, calculating dirtbags.”
I’d like to think the Dems’ are pulling this particular dirty trick because their polling shows Spanberger in freefall.
Let’s hope.
Another overt indication Spunkburger is in trouble
Maybe not freefall but definitely not ahead by a lot. Her ads plays all day and night and there are a lot of different ads which means lots of money spent to make and run them. If she were confident she wouldn’t need them. I’ve never seen this many ads for a VA Gov race or any race really. My concern is the VA vote cheating which always happens IMO. Youngkin won because in the last months he really pulled ahead and too hard to overcome the cheat. But Sears and Spanberger are pretty much tied so much easier.
Oh, she getting a little to uppity for the demokkkrats? Even the naacp is backing the white chick. Pretty sad.
I live 1200 miles from her (never in Virginia), so maybe I will now get off her phone list and stop calling/texting me for $$.
