Spanberger's Silent Stance on Controversies Leaves Voters Worried in Virginia Gubernatorial Race

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.
