VIDEO: Trump weighs in on heated Virginia governor’s race

2

From Breitbart: President Donald Trump encouraged people in Virginia to vote “Republican” in the upcoming gubernatorial election, noting that current Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, is “excellent.”

While taking questions from reporters on Air Force One as he traveled back to Washington, DC, Trump was asked if he planned to endorse Earle-Sears in the upcoming election against Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.

“Mr. President, you haven’t weighed in on the Virginia gubernatorial race that’s in a few weeks,” a reporter asked Trump. “Do you plan to endorse the lieutenant governor?”

“I think the Republican candidate is very good, and I think she should win because the Democrat candidate’s a disaster,” Trump said, adding that he has not “been too much involved” in the gubernatorial election in Virginia.

The president added: “I think the Republican candidate is excellent, and I think Democrat candidate is a disaster.”

The president also said he watched the debate between Earle-Sears and Spanberger, and noted that Spanberger couldn’t even answer the most basic questions.

“Vote Republican!” he said.

Earle-Sears posted a video of Trump’s remarks and wrote, “Thank you for your kind words of support, President Trump. And you’re right—Abigail would be a disaster for Virginia.”

Last week, Earle-Sears posted a video as Spanberger wildly claimed in a campaign speech that she would bring ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ if she is elected governor.

Earle-Sears retorted by pointing out that she is a Black woman currently serving as lieutenant governor in the former capital of the Confederacy.
