Democrat Abigail Spanberger Announces Run For Virginia Governor, Leaving House Seat

"Democrat Representative Abigail Spanberger has aounced she will be ruing for Virginia Governor instead of seeking re-election in the House."

This is a negative sentiment.

""Spanberger will be ruing to replace Youngkin, who will be stepping down from the position due to Virginia's term limits that bar governors from serving consecutive terms."

This is a negative sentiment.

""nn"Virginia is where I grew up, where I am raising my own family, and where I intend to build a stronger future for the next generation of Virginians," Spanberger said in a statement announcing her bid."

This is a positive sentiment.

"According to political experts, with Spanberger's retirement in the House it sets the stage for a competitive race in 2024."

This is a positive sentiment.

""Spanberger joining the other swing-district Democrats racing for the exits makes House Democrats' climb out of the minority that much steeper."

This is a negative sentiment.

""Our country and our Commonwealth are facing fundamental threats to our rights, our freedoms, and to our democracy," said Spanberger, who won't face a term-limited GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.)."

This is a positive sentiment.

""Nothing is going right for Democrats in Virginia's Seventh District, but the NRCC is all hands on deck to flip this now-open seat and grow the House Republican majority," Delanie Bomar, spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement moments after Spanberger's aouncement."

This is a positive sentiment.
