Virginia lieutenant government Governor bending into cultural issues in his dialectHowever, some see it as a risky strategy in an off-year election, which is likely to dominate economic concerns.
Especially Earl-Sires Her democratic rival attackedPre -rape. Abigail Spanberger, on transgender issues, especially in relation to schools. This week, the Lieutenant Governor’s campaign rolled out an advertising labeling spanberger as “they/them” and supported policies that allow “men in the girls’ locker room” and parents to be unaware when their children take care of gender-confusion. In another advertisement, Earl-Sires accused Spanberger of “boys of playing games and sharing a locker room with younger girls.”
The strategy of implementing trans issues for Republicans in 2024, and Glenn Glenn Youngkin (R) of certainty in 2021 won the issue of parents’ rights. But the critics are concerned whether the message of Earl-Saires is completing the moment when the cost of living and jobs is dominating the concerns of the voters.
“Why is she not catching fire as one of a general complaints or comments, because there is not really no overlapping message or positive vision for the subject or future,” said a GOP strategist. “It has been very reactive, and the problem with it is that when you do not have your message or your brand, you are in part of the national winds.”
Recently, Yungkin also paid attention to the issue, seizing ABC’s Washington, DC, affiliated WJLA reports, a registered sexual criminal, which was identified as transgender, was accused of highlighting themselves for many women and children in the Arlington Public School Locker Room.
“No girl should not be in contact with this kind of depression. This is the remaining thinking that should be in your daughter’s locker room. Virginia’s parents – your children’s safety is really on the ballot in this November.” Said in a post X on social platform.
Earl-Saires on Friday resulted in Youngkin’s comment in their X post.
“Abigail Spanberger says that we have to accept anyone who identifies as a woman-even poachers like Richard Cox also as real women. Look at us that that madness has received us,” Earl-Saires has written.
Youngkin’s 2021 election, on the issue of parents’ rights, was won in part as the country was emerging from Koronwirus epidemics. The then-Republican Gubernatorial Nominee tapped about the new parents’ new concerns, which their children were being taught in class after coming in contact with their children’s school courses during the epidemic lockdown.
The issue became especially prominent in the race when Youngkin’s rival, former village Terry McAolif (D) said in a debate that he did not believe that parents should tell the schools to tell the schools what they should teach.
In 2024, Republican continued to include transgender issues in its campaign message, focusing on debts on trans women in sports. Polls show that most Americans believe that athletes should only be allowed to play on teams that align with the gender assigned to them at birth.
Some Virginia Republican says the issue should be a no-brother for any political candidate, arguing that the party cuts beyond lines.
Virginia-based Republican strategist Zack Rode said, “The Earl-Sier’s campaign is smart to run the issue as it is not a complex to convince voters.”
“This is an opportunity for the Democrat,” he continued. “And because Virginia is the first test case after the presidential election, it is an opportunity to be a leader.”
One NBC News Poll It was released earlier this year that 75 percent of the Americans involved in the survey said they did not believe that trans women should be allowed to participate in women’s game. One and 25 percent said that they believe that trans women should be allowed to participate in women’s game.
“We are actually working to expand the Republican alliance, and this is an important issue in expanding that alliance,” Mark Harris said, a senior strategist of the Earl-Sires campaign. “Northern Virginia and other places have a wide array of people who are fundamentally disagree with just taking this progressive peak.”
Spanberger addressed the issues of Trans women participating in women’s game, as well as women bathrooms An interview with WSET-TV In Roanoke.
“So in Virginia, as long as we have a recent process where a person, one by one, the school, principal, parents, coaches were taking decisions on the basis of fairness, competition and security, where a child may be able to play in a particular game or not,” Spanberger told the outlet.
Asked if she would withdraw the law that would allow the female transgender women in the bathroom to play on the sports teams, Spanberger said that she would “support a bill that would provide a lot of local ability to input depending on the age of the children, depending on the type of sports based on competition.”
The Democratic candidate described her as an example, citing her position as the mother of three daughters, how she understands concerns on issues.
Spanberger told the outlet, “I recognize that family and community members may be about the safety of their children, about competition, fairness.” “And I think the process that was for 10 years was one that was working. It was one who took into account personal circumstances and individual communities, and I think this is the process that should continue to use Virginia.”
Overall, the spanbarger is focusing on the rising costs and federal employment issues in Virginia following a widespread paraj of the Trump administration of government jobs under its Government Efficiency Department (DOGE).
Earlier this week, in view of conservative attacks on the issue, Spanberger rolled out an op-ed in the Washington Post on the influence of Dogi on Virginia’s economy. The state is a home of a large health of especially federal employees, which is close to Washington, DC and its military appearance.
According to Virginia’s recent voting, the economy is the top to the state voters. A Christopher Newport University Poll Last week was issued that 21 percent of Virginia voters said inflation and life cost was their top concern, followed by 18 percent for democracy and K -12 education, immigration and crime were committed at 9 percent.
Spanberger’s strategy appears to be paying in elections. Decision desk headquarters voting average The spanbarger is the leading Earl-Sires from the race, with 50.1 percent support 43.1 percent.
Some Republican note that the Earl-Sires strategy to focus on trans issues may not be sufficient in this cycle and may be insufficient. GOP strategists who criticized the Earl-Sairs’ perspective, said that Yungkin offered a comprehensive vision in 2021, told voters that “he wanted to” wanted to make Virginia to live, work and raise a family. ”
“He put everything in that context,” said the strategist. “He had a game plan one day where he had a plan for education and economy.”
The strategist said that the message of the rights and education of the parents is often mainly from their campaign, but there were other important messages including cancellation of the state’s grocery tax.
Earl-Sairs’ colleagues said that she was talking about other issues.
Harris said, “Whether it is a gas tax, whether it is a Virginia Clean Economy Act, resulting in a lot of electricity bills, we have continued to talk about those issues,” Harris said. “It is a matter that voters can walk at the same time and chew gum.”
On the other hand, veteran Virginia’s political analyst Bob Holswarta said that it is almost the same as the Earl-Sier’s campaign has become a “one-note campaign”.
“If you look at her website and what she says every day, all this is about the Abigail Spanborgers and the boys in the girls’ locker room,” they continued. “It just thinks that this is not a major issue in Virginia today.”
