Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R), who’s running for governor, said Thursday her campaign bus caught fire while traveling to an event in the final stretch before Election Day.
“While en-route to an event, our campaign bus caught fire. Everyone is safe,” Earle-Sears wrote in a Thursday statement on social platform X.
“Thank you to the first responders who got to the scene quickly — we are so grateful for you,” she added.
Her Democratic opponent, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (Va.), expressed relief that no one was hurt.
“I’m relieved to hear @winwithwinsome and her team are safe after her campaign bus caught on fire this afternoon,” Spanberger wrote in a post on X.
“I’m grateful to our first responders for their quick action — and I’m thinking of the Lt. Governor and her team after this scary incident,” she continued.
Spanberger and Earle-Sears have been locked in a contentious battle for the governor’s mansion, with the Democrat leading her opponent in recent polls.
The Democrat’s campaign was rocked recently by revelations that the Democratic attorney general candidate, Jay Jones, had sent text messages back in 2022 suggesting he wanted to shoot Virginia’s House Speaker at the time, a Republican.
Earle-Sears aggressively pressed Spanberger about the scandal at a debate earlier this month, repeatedly calling on the Democrat to urge Jones to drop out. Spanberger has not done so.
Virginia voters have until Tuesday to head to the polls, joining voters in New Jersey, New York and other states.

I’m not sure they need to go this far to defeat her, but maybe after 2 rounds of Trump, they’re not taking any chances.
CIA?
This was intentional. The dems are trying to intimidate and throw blocks in her way. And my tinfoil hat is blinking red.
They burn Teslas, they burn churches, federal buildings, cities to try to get what they want….. would not be surprised if they burned the bus
“I’m not sure they need to go this far “
In Georgia, the fiance’ of the daughter of Kemp, or one of his cohorts, was blown up in his car to “encourage” the pol to turn on Trump — which he did.
You’re right, though, they don’t NEED to go this far, but they do.
Spanberger was taught to be a professional liar by the CIA.
This kind of stuff is getting out of hand
“the fiance’ of the daughter of Kemp”
Yep, it was her, not even a cohort. I once tried figure out the odds of it being random. It came out to be something like 1 in a million (or even lower), when you factor in the odds of being killed that way in one’s lifetime, the number of people in his position, the short time window (2 weeks).
...and yes, he wasn’t too happy about the ‘extra ballots’ being pulled out from under the table...but flipped, after the ‘message’ was sent.
Even, TO THIS DAY, the Republicans don’t seem to be bothered by it.
God bless her and all in her campaign, helping her and her family.
How DOES a boring blase’ acting “Blasey-Ford” type of chickie go from getting a Postal Inspector’s job (through her daddy who was one also, btw) at USPS.. to a Operations Division (aka Clandestine division) with the Clowns In Action in the ME where she “gathered intelligence” (super chick “spy” stuff can’t tell about, because it was certainly NOT important) but had no real operational job (as in insertion teams in country undercover etc). She certainly wasn’t even as much as Valerie Plame (who was really not anything at all except a willing tool for dem liars with a clown a@@ husband. Remember her and the “yellow cake” uranium episode with cray cray husband— WMDs in Iraq and all that? A very public “secret agent”- known in public)
So, NAACP says vote for the whitey chick because she runs de plantation of jive. Blacks in VA are NOT falling for this crap. The Marine Winsome Sears has commanded troops and is articulate and not permanently looking like she smells “wal mart” dog crap types (Like Strozk said he smelled... in wal-mart. The things I remember, the arrogance).
So yeah, Spanberger has ZERO capabilities in running the Old Dominion State. No freaking way! Fight like Hell, VA!
Hmmmmm....suspicious???
Accidentally on purpose?
“Her Democratic opponent, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (Va.), expressed relief that no one was hurt.”
BS her operatives planned it.
When demoncrats get desperate, nothing is off the table.
We all know it.
Stands for Clear Intimidation Action
Actually just a coincidence.
Oh, we'll bet you are.

There was a story on Free Republic on how the VA legislature was (maliciously, obstructively) called into session this last week, so that Winsome Sears has had to attend, and has not had time to attend her campaign events.
They know she close to winning and will do anything to prevent it. I hope she has good security!
