Former Roommates Turn Governors' Campaigns into Battle for Democratic Revival

Former roommates Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill are now candidates for governor, seeking to lead a Democratic revival in Virginia ahead of their party's primary elections. The pair was part of the blue wave that swept control of the House of Representatives in 2018, embodying resistance against President Trump's presidency. As they vie for the top spot, Spanberger and Sherrill are navigating internal party dynamics and building support among Democratic voters. Their shared experiences as women and former congresswomen will likely play a significant role in their gubernatorial campaigns.
