Democrats bet on Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s cost-focused message to counter Trump
Spanberger’s double-digit Virginia win validates Democrats’ focus on affordability to counter Trump’s message in the midterms, with planned events nationwide supporting the theme.
- On Tuesday night, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger will deliver the Democratic response, saying `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.`
- Party leaders point to Spanberger’s double-digit victory in November as validation of a disciplined, cost-focused message they want to elevate after a special election earlier this month in Texas.
- From Colonial Williamsburg, Spanberger will deliver the televised rebuttal with a time disadvantage versus the president, drawing on her three terms in the U.S. House and role as first woman elected governor of Virginia.
- Some Democrats will skip Trump’s address and host a 'State of the Swamp' with lawmakers, local leaders, and celebrities, aiming to shape midterm messaging.
- Past responses like Rubio’s 2013 water-bottle moment show rebuttals often fade or are mocked, and Trump on Monday said his speech will be long, risking smaller late-night audiences.
