Trending Topics W/DJEJ Greig: US election results show Americans ‘rejecting divisive politics’

Abigail Spanberger has won the Virginia governor’s election, defeating candidate Earle-Sears. Spanberger, a former Virginia congresswoman, had an early lead in the polls across the state, which leaned blue in the 2024 election and overwhelmingly voted for Kamala Harris. She emphasized her commitment to bipartisanship and key issues such as women’s reproductive rights, lowering prescription drug prices, and easing inflation during her campaign. Spanberger, who was born in New Jersey and moved to Virginia as a child, is 46 years old and has three daughters with her husband, Adam.
