Abigail Spanberger’s 48-Hour Honeymoon

Abigail Spanberger had a solid two-day run. Between her swearing in on Saturday and Monday morning, the self-styled Democratic moderate was widely hailed as Virginia’s first female governor.

A member of the "Mod Squad," supposedly an antidote to the left-wing lunatics who helped doom Democrats to electoral defeat in 2024, Spanberger said she would focus on "lowering costs, keeping our communities safe, and strengthening our economy." She pledged to deliver "pragmatism over partisanship." In her inauguration speech on Saturday, she promised to "grow Virginia’s economy in every corner of the commonwealth" and "bring capital investment into every region."
