Governor Spanberger faces declining approval ratings and internal party criticism as she navigates a controversial redistricting referendum in Virginia.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is facing internal Democratic criticism and declining approval ratings as a controversial redistricting battle threatens to reshape the state's congressional delegation.
House Minority Leader
Virginia held a virtual rally urging a yes vote on its redistricting referendum, and Spanberger backed the measure. Left-leaning outlets present the yes campaign as a check on Trump and Republican election tactics. Center outlets describe both parties’ efforts and competing claims about rural representation and control of the House. Right-leaning outlets stress claims that the map would favor Democrats and criticism of Spanberger, including from within her party.
