Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger has remained quiet on two twin controversies in the final stretch of her Virginia race, including a violent text message scandal involving her campaign manager and a separate incident involving a staffer's ties to a gun rights group. The controversies have raised questions about Spanberger's leadership style and handling of sensitive issues. Despite the criticism, Spanberger has maintained a narrow lead in the polls ahead of the election. Her campaign is now focusing on the issues that matter most to voters, rather than addressing the controversies head-on.
