You can now listen to Fox News articles! Former President Barack Obama has endorsed former Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia governor’s race and launched two ads attacking Republicans. The contest between Spanberger, a former CIA officer, and current Virginia Governor Winsome Earle-Sears is one of only two gubernatorial races in the U.S. this November. These contests are seen as political bellwethers ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. “The election in Virginia is one of the most important in the country this year,” Obama said in an ad titled “Protect Our Rights.” “We know Republicans will keep attacking abortion rights and women’s rights. So it’s important to have the right governor, and I’m proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger.” “In Congress, Abigail held Republicans accountable and fought to protect voting rights and abortion rights. But this won’t happen without you. Every vote counts, so get involved. Virginia, Abigail Spanberger is the best choice for governor,” Obama added. GOP’s top group spending big in Virginia showdown.

The scandal involving Jones surfaced earlier this month when National Review published text messages between Jones and his former state legislature colleague, Republican House of Representative Carrie Coyner. In the exchange, Jones appeared to advocate violence against Virginia House of Delegates Todd Gilbert, his wife Jennifer, and their children. “Jay Jones expressed a desire to see a father and his two young children murdered – and to watch police officers get shot,” Earle-Sears said. “Abigail Spanberger still supports him.” Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former Republican Abigail Spanberger addresses a voting rally on the first day of early voting outside the Eastern Government Center in Henrico County, Virginia, September 19, 2025.
