WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are betting that Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s affordability-focused message, which helped her flip a Republican-held office last November, will resonate with the country when she delivers their party’s response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
The rebuttal gives Democrats a prime opportunity to make their case against Trump and his policies ahead of the midterm elections. Spanberger’s double-digit victory in Virginia last November was viewed by party leaders as validation of a disciplined message centered on lowering costs — one they now want to elevate in campaigns nationwide.
“Virginians and Americans across the country are contending with rising costs, chaos in their communities, and a real fear of what each day might bring,” Spanberger said in a statement. “I look forward to laying out what these Americans expect and deserve — leaders who are working hard to deliver for them.”
Spanberger will deliver the speech from Colonial Williamsburg, a living history museum with restored 18th-century buildings, drawing on the site’s role at the heart of Virginia’s early opposition to British rule and connecting that legacy to the current political moment, according to her team.

How does fifty proposed new taxes make anyone’s life more ‘affordable’?
She’s not doing anything to reduce costs. She is perfect for the rebuttal. All hat, no cattle. A Yugo trying to sound like a Corvette.
That Deep State CIA Agent is going to be giving the us the State of the Confederacy.
Spanberger ....... was a CIA operations officer from 2006 to 2014.
She’s still an operator.
Trump predicted a long speech. It may be midnight on the East Coast before she goes on the air. Millions of people just like me will have turned their TV’s off.
Cost focused??? I guess the AP is hoping that people don’t notice the massive number of tax increases being proposed in Virginia under Spanberger and the Dem-dominated General Assembly.
Ya, I heard she will impose a dog walking tax? Hire someone to walk the dog, or take care of your dog, and there’s a tax?
Next they will calculate your carbon footprint, and tax that.
She is perfect because she pulled the usual bait and switch. A walking commercial for the myth of the “moderate” Democrat.
Underestimate her at your peril.
Repubs lost the election it wasn’t to big to rig and thus the steal worked out again where it thrives. How else and where else with the likes of her two senaturs?
She reminds me of Hillary except that Hillary was "legit".
Spanberger is a trained operative.
Thank you. My first thoughts exactly
Trump ought to do a pre-emptive strike by listing all of her proposed taxes in his speech. Perhaps right near the end.
AWFL
Does “cost” include tax?
Doubling down on Blue State leftists.
She is the perfect pick though turn men of all races off. She is the walking image of an AWFL.
The Dems couldn’t have picked a better candidate to expose the Bait and Switch they have planned!
