Virginia Lt. Gov Winsome Earle-Sears is continuing to ask President Donald Trump to back her bid in the high-stakes Virginia governor’s race — but the president, as of now, is refusing to endorse her. Earle-Sears has met with Trump in the Oval Office at least once to discuss her challenging campaign, and her team has coordinated daily with the White House’s political operation for months, according to sources familiar with the conversations who spoke with Bloomberg Government. The former House member [Abigail Spanberger] has specifically focused her message on blaming Trump — and Earle-Sears by association — for defunding education...

Liberal media bias and hypocrisy are on full display in Virginia. Winsome Earle-Sears, the current lieutenant governor of Virginia, is the Republican nominee for governor. It’s impossible to find a starker compare-and-contrast between the media and cultural “elites”’ treatment of Earle-Sears and Stacey Abrams, who shares key similarities with Earle-Sears. Both are black women from battleground states (Abrams from Georgia), who earned their respective party’s nomination for governor in America’s South. The difference: Abrams is a Democrat, and thus worthy of expansive, fawning media coverage—though Abrams checks fewer of the Left’s prized identity boxes than Earle-Sears, a Jamaican immigrant. The...

It's time, Mr. President. In fact, it's the perfect time; there's likely not going to be a better one. Yes, you have your reasons for hesitating to endorse Winsome Earle-Sears for governor in Virginia; it's understandable that you might not want to put your personal seal of approval on a candidate who didn't have your back in 2022 when you announced you were running for a second term. Politics is an ugly game, and there are few who've experienced that more keenly than you. But, that was then, and this is now. This past week—and Thursday night in Arlington, in...

A liberal protester targeting Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears with a racist sign has gone viral and caused confusion over her intentions. Earle-Sears, the Republican nominee in the 2025 Virginia gubernatorial election, attended an Arlington County School Board meeting where she spoke out against a policy that allows transgender students to use girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms. The meeting occurred as a result of a threat by the Department of Education to cut off federal funding from the school district over its bathroom policy. A transgender rights rally was held outside the meeting in support of the school district’s policy....

(Excerpts, suggest reading entire article) Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is facing off against former Democrat Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s closely watched 2025 gubernatorial race. While Spanberger appears to have the edge in the race so far, recent shocking revelations about the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative – “Russiagate” – could create some uncomfortable questions for Spanberger and perhaps give Sears an opportunity to portray her opponent as a dishonest, untrustworthy career bureaucrat. Before she was elected to Congress in 2018, Spanberger was a CIA operative. She has leaned heavily on that experience in her campaign, repeatedly describing...

ICYMI: Virginia GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Winsome Earle-Sears Campaign Funded By Known Nazi Sympathizer July 10, 2025 In response to reporting detailing Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears’ campaign receiving donations tied to a known Nazi sympathizer, DNC Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman released the following statement: “MAGA extremist Winsome Earle-Sears gladly took the money of a Nazi sympathizer to fund her losing campaign — despite once condemning that very action. The company you keep matters. Working Virginians have a choice this election — a candidate who associates with Nazis or a candidate who will spend every day fighting for working Virginians.”...
