Podcast appearances and mentions of Abigail Spanberger

Two topics on the news podcast today: It has been made abundantly clear to me that UVA Athletics does not want to say anything, publicly, privately or otherwise, regarding the finding of misconduct against associate head swim coach Gary Taylor. I have had it up to, wherever, with Virginia Democratstelling me, several times a day, everything that Winsome Earle-Sears is doing wrong. Main issue for me here being: they never tell me what the person who I want to be governor, Abigail Spanberger, wants to do that's right.

In our second hour, we play "The Best of the Sunday Shows" -- and begin to dissect the gubernatorial race between Abigail Spanberger and Winsome Earle-Sears.

On today's show, we discuss the Texas flooding, the Big, Beautiful Bill's passage, THE RICHMONDER report about Jim Osuna's dismissal, channeling failure into success, "The Best of the Sunday Shows," the gubernatorial race between Winsome Sears and Abigail Spanberger, and the best places to visit in Virginia. Our guests are Dr. Jake, Mike Emanuel, and Rigney Herrera. Enjoy!

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump getting stunned by recent shock polls in Virginia and how even in red areas in Virginia he is growing very unpopular, and Meiselas interviews Virginia Democratic Governor Candidate Abigail Spanberger about what she saw on her recent bus tour in Virginia.

Virginia's third official measles case this year is confirmed, and it's the second one in Charlottesville… One analysis shows that Virginia is one of five states where efforts to arrest and remove unauthorized immigrants appear most aggressive… Democratic candidate for governor Abigail Spanberger proposes housing solutions….

Virginia's average home price has increased six percent over the last year, bringing it up to nearly $400,000. Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Abigail Spanberger offered ideas to address the problem at an event in Henrico County Friday morning. Brad Kutner has this report. 

Roanoke College's latest poll gives an early edge to Democrat and former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger over Republican Lt. Governor Winsome Sears.

On this episode: Virginia may hold elections every year, but the 2025 contests are shaping up to be especially exciting. With races for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and all 100 seats in the House of Delegates, the state is once again a key barometer for national political sentiment. The Virginia Scope's Brandon Jarvis joins Ballotpedia's new host, Norm Leahy, to unpack why these elections matter beyond state lines—from Abigail Spanberger's strategy and Winsome Sears' fundraising blitz to the GOP's internal deliberations. They'll also explore everything from the impact of redistricting and union politics to the controversy surrounding the Republican ticket and what Virginia voters' choices might say about the national mood heading into 2026. Virginia is one of two states — along with New Jersey — whose elections we'll be following closely on the show throughout the rest of the year. You can expect Part 2 to come out sometime in mid-July.

Chuck begins with analysis of the Trump administration's tariff implementation and personnel changes, including Mike Waltz's removal as national security advisor and Marco Rubio's expanding role within the administration. Then, he's joined by Oren Cass, a leading conservative economic thinker, on America's trade policy and the challenges of reindustrialization. Cass argues that while tariffs and reindustrialization may be sound concepts, the Trump administration's implementation has been completely counter-productive. They discuss how traditional right-of-center thinking on free trade has evolved, questions whether China's integration into global markets has delivered promised benefits, and explores the regional winners and losers of trade agreements like NAFTA.Cass tackles questions about America's trade deficit, consumer willingness to pay more for domestic products, and whether reshoring manufacturing is practical for the American economy. The conversation examines the national security implications of trade agreements, the potential for losing allies to China's influence, and what realistic reindustrialization might look like in today's economy.Finally, Chuck answers listener questions on the executive branch's guardrails, expectations for "Resistance 2.0," potential federal intervention in college sports, and whether media scrutiny of public officials' backgrounds has gone too far.00:00 Introduction02:00 If tariffs actually are a good idea, the way they've been implemented hasn't given it a chance to succeed03:30 The administration is only interested in communicating to their base07:30 What should we take away from Mike Waltz being removed as national security advisor?08:55 Marco Rubio is now holding four jobs in the administration09:45 Rubio has earned Trump's trust13:15 Is the new model to move staff to new roles rather than fire them?15:15 Abigail Spanberger may have had the best 100 days of any Democrat17:55 Wes Moore announces he won't run in 202820:35 Oren Cass joins the Chuck ToddCast! 22:35 Tools for achieving re-industrialization 23:35 Tariffs and reindustrialization is a good idea, Trump's rollout has been disastrous 25:35 The U.S. needs credible and sustainable trade policy 27:20 Right of center thinking for 40 years was simply "Free trade is good" 29:05 Has free and open trade been a net positive worldwide? 30:35 Does trade policy of the early 20th century make sense in the 21st century 32:20 Bringing China into the world market didn't lead to liberalization 33:50 Will we be forced to cut an unfavorable trade deal with China? 36:35 Wouldn't it make sense that the US had a trade deficit based on our consumption? 38:35 If we aren't selling other countries goods we produce, they buy our assets and debt 40:50 NAFTA produced winners and losers regionally in the United States 41:50 What could we have done differently to minimize the negative impacts of NAFTA? 44:35 Production has shifted from country to country based on lower costs 46:05 Will American consumers actually be willing to pay more for American made products? 48:50 How can we unwind globalization without severely damaging the U.S. economy? 50:50 The Toyota Camry has more American made parts than the Detroit built cars 52:35 Does reshoring low-cost manufacturing make sense for consumers and American businesses? 53:50 Will poor implementation of policy hurt the goal of reshoring manufacturing? 56:35 How do you weigh the benefits of national security provided by trade agreements? 1:01:05 Does America risk losing allies to China's sphere of influence? 1:02:05 Should our allies get a better deal than those that are unaligned or adversarial? 1:04:15 Does more trade equal less war? 1:07:05 What type of reindustrialization is realistic and what isn't? 1:10:05 Lack of competition has led to problems with Boeing 1:12:35 How long will it take to reindustrialize? 1:13:35 Would TPP have furthered the goal of isolating China?1:16:35 Chuck's thoughts on the interview Oren Cass 1:17:27 Ask Chuck 1:17:35 Were the guardrails on the executive branch always this frail? 1:20:35 What do you expect out of Resistance 2.0? 1:21:30 Will the federal government intervene in college sports? 1:22:50 Does the media go too deep into the background of public officials prior to their public service?(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin discuss the first 100 days; the next 100 we might need to take a day at a time. Virginia's Abigail Spanberger kind of leans Democrat, as so does her race for Governor in the state. The Senate almost stood up to Trump on Tariffs, almost. JD Vance finally found his special purpose. The US economy is beginning to cave in. It is weird how that seems to coincide with the Trump Tariffs. Trump explains that anything going wrong in this term will be Joe Biden's fault, and to just wait for his third or so term to make any judgement. In the meantime, you might need to cut back to two dolls or two Big Macs when you had planned on buying maybe 30. Pete Kegsbreath can't be more of an idiot, although he does put in daily effort to do so. Pete attended Trump's latest anal appreciation session and was personally singled out by Trump, which is a sure sign that… Mike Walz was to be bumped off. Oh well, plenty of morons where he came from. ICE isn't allowed to deport people, so how about the DoD? Ok, it's the DMV, then. Donald asked if Abrego Garcia could come back, but El Salvador said no, so that's that. The US has finally arranged to drink Ukraine's milkshake. Purportedly. Trump and paperwork, man. When it comes to Harlem vs. Harvard, Donald prefers the one where Blacks know their place. Trump is unconcerned with laws, because he plans to be the law. If you really enjoy grifting, go where the graft is, the Executive Branch. If you want to appeal to Democrats… I don't know, go wherever you see those hippy types. More Democrats need to go wherever Chris Murphy and Elizabeth Warren are.

Labor issues may end up being a big campaign issue in the statewide elections this year. Michael Pope reports on a question that has vexed Democrats for years. In a written statement, former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger did not commit to repealing the Right to Work Law. Here is the entire statement from her campaign to […]

Days after being confirmed as the Democratic Party candidate for governor, Spanberger visited Central Virginia to endorse some legislative priorities on behalf of Virginians.    In other news: Dr. Karen Shelton publicly addressed the federal “COVID grant” cuts in front of a state advisory panel, WMRA provides a local look at the weekend's “Hands Off!” protests, andVPM News brought home six awards from the Virginias AP Broadcasters (yes, Virginias plural) over the weekend — including multiple top honors.    In the podcast: Abigail Spanberger hints at support for paid family and medical leave program; Virginia's health commissioner addresses the impact of federal cuts.

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger -- previously a three-term member of Congress and CIA officer -- on Trump II vs. Washington; foreign affairs; culture wars; and the Democrats' messaging problem. Taped before an audience at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

Tonight on The Last Word: A North Carolina Republican candidate tries to subvert the vote after losing the State Supreme Court's election. Also, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin backs Donald Trump's purge of federal workers. Plus, WIRED reports inexperienced young men in Elon Musk's DOGE team gain access to sensitive data. And Donald Trump faces outrage over Treasury access given to Musk. Justice Allison Riggs, fmr. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, Vittoria Elliott, Tom Nichols, and Jennifer Rubin join Ali Velshi.

Yet again, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring their usual camaraderie and repartee to today's KITM. That kind of stuff is hard to fake! Today is a good day to ask ourselves, WWJCD? Probably not a single thing that will ever happen now. For people who don't like being called Hitler, MAGAs sure are into annexation lately. Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Panama have been asking for it lately, showing off their ample mineral assets, letting just anyone into their trade routes. How can they not expect to get grabbed by the canal? What does Trump get out of empty threats? The satisfaction of watching people flinch. Wildfires like hot air, so Trump is focusing his degradation and intimidation on the victims instead. California will of course have to shut off the windmills, those things just blow the fire around. Remember your shock when the Trump Supreme Court handed down its decision on Presidential immunity? Well, I hope you're sitting down when you find out what Trump and Alito are cooking up this time. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, whose sole joy in life is stirring up shit, found some in the UK in the personage of lifelong POS Tommy Robinson. In election news, Virginia's Abigail Spanberger goes right down the middle to find a one-point lead over the local extremist, while Lebanon's Joseph Aoun becomes the fifth army commander to be elected as president in multi-Islamic Lebanon, taking over the job held previously for two years by an empty chair.

In this inaugural episode of The Virginia Press Room, Michael Pope is joined by: Laura Vozzella of The Washington Post, who talks about Denver Riggleman's potential run for statewide office Jahd Khalil of VPM News, who talks about Del. Michael Jones' (D-Richmond) unannounced visit to the Red Onion prison Markus Schmidt of Virginia Mercury, who talks about Hampton Roads Ventures' lack of investments in local projects Plus:  Rep. John McGuire's publicized visit to President-elect Trump's Mar-a-Lago Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger will both be guest speakers at the upcoming Virginia Capitol Correspondents' Association Gala Governor Glenn Youngkin's passion for a commercial fusion power plant And looking ahead to special elections in Loudoun County and Central Virginia, morning speeches on the General Assembly floor, and Governor Youngkin's plans for tax cuts to help cement his legacy. -- The Virginia Press Room is a weekly podcast that brings listeners the latest insights and analysis on Virginia's most important stories directly from the journalists covering them. Produced in collaboration by VPM and the Virginia Public Access Project, the series is hosted by journalist and author, Michael Pope and features a rotating cast of reporters from the Virginia press corps. The Virginia Press Room offers a behind-the-scenes look at state politics, policy and the issues shaping communities across the commonwealth from the people who know it best, helping listeners stay informed about what's happening in their state from the halls of the Capitol to their local neighborhoods.

Reports from Capitol Hill have said Peninsula Congressman Bobby Scott is considering challenging fellow Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger for the Democratic nomination for Virginia governor. According to some reports, party members are concerned with Spanberger's ability to excite Black voters.

What Does the GOP Trifecta Mean for 340B?In January, Republicans will achieve what's known as a governing trifecta – taking control of the executive branch combined with GOP majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. How will this new dynamic affect the 340B world? We discuss what is ahead with McDermott+ vice presidents Rodney Whitlock, a former Republican legislative staffer, and Debbie Curtis, a former Democratic legislative staffer.Capitol Hill Shakeups and New FacesSeveral 340B champions are set to leave Congress through retirement or new appointments, including Reps. Elise Stefanik and Abigail Spanberger as well as Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Ben Cardin. But this provides an opportunity to speak to newly elected lawmakers to express the value of 340B and what it means for their constituents.Preparing for 340B OversightThe new Congress could bring oversight hearings and other opportunities for 340B critics to speak out. Although 340B has faced and surmounted challenges before, this will require getting back to core advocacy efforts designed to protect the program.Trump's Second TermHow the second Trump administration will fill key roles and the decisions they make on health policy issues could impact 340B. The implementation of Inflation Reduction Act drug pricing provisions also will affect 340B and could lead to discussions about additional changes to the program.Resources:Create or Update Your 340B Impact ProfileRead Our Analysis of J&J's Legal Arguments for 340B RebatesLilly, Kalderos Press Federal Court for Ability To Impose Rebates

The race for Maryland's 6th congressional district seat appears to be a tossup, making it the most competitive U.S. House race in the state. A fiery forum spotlighted the divide between candidates on immigration, the economy, and abortion rights. The race takes center stage this week, with Democrat April McClain Delaney and Republican Neil Parrott each got behind the mic and made their pitch to voters. On the show Friday, they put forward different priorities on things like gun control.On Politics Hour with Kojo Nnamdi Friday, McClain Delaney said she'd support tougher restrictions.“Common sense gun legislation, I think, includes bans on military assault weapons and universal background checks. And with so many spiraling depression, mental health, anxiety issues, red flag laws," said Delaney. Congress banned assault weapons in 1994, but the ban lapsed a decade later.Republican Neil Parrot, however, says he would not vote for a ban.“We have a second amendment. We need to make sure people have the right to bear arms. Of course, they need to be reasonable.. which we have, so I think we are okay there.”When it comes to curbing gun violence, Parrott said he'd prefer to find quote “other solutions.”.Virginia's 7th congressional district race is also tight, with Republican Derrick Anderson and Democrat Eugene Vindman vying to replace Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who's running for governor. Last week, Vindman joined the show, and now, it was Anderson's turn to discuss his campaign with Kojo and Tom. We will talked about his military service, congressional control, and reproductive rights.He restated his position on abortion."I do not support a national ban. I support IVF and I do support over the counter contraceptives," Anderson said.When asked, he would not say whether he would support a federal law protecting abortion. Anderson says the issue should be left to states to decide.Become a member of WAMU: wamu.org/donateSend us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885

The closely watched Maryland Senate race remains tight. Tens of millions of dollars continue to pour into the race as each candidate looks to hammer home their message with voters. Democratic candidate Angela Alsobrooks cites the danger of the race giving Republicans control of the U.S. Senate. Republican candidate Larry Hogan wants to convince voters he's a moderate who will pick country over party. Democratic candidate Angela Alsobrooks joined us to discuss where the race stands now and what she would bring to the role.   Eyes are also on Virginia's 7th congressional district race, where Democrat Eugene Vindman and Republican Derrick Anderson are in a tight race for the seat to replace Abigail Spanberger, who is running for governor. The future of federal workers, abortion rights, and the economy are among the top issues in the race. Democratic candidate Eugene Vindman joined the show to make his pitch to voters.In D.C., the most intense political fight coming into November 5 is over a ballot initiative that would bring ranked choice voting and semi-open primaries to the District. Alex Koma of the Washington City Paper explained why Initiative 83 has become so divisive.Become a member of WAMU: wamu.org/donateSend us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/thepoliticshour

Can a good spy become a good politician? I mean, not as an undercover agent—spy agencies are pretty good at that—but in an overt way, in, say, the messy US Congress.Or, put another way, can the skills that a CIA officer employs in clandestine operations—gregariousness, empathy and, let's face it, a learned talent for manipulating people, be put to good use in a place like a deeply polarized Congress?This week I'm putting those questions to Abigail Spanberger, a former member of the CIA's clandestine service, who in 2018 won a seat in Congress from Virginia as a Democrat, breaking, by the way, a nearly 40-year long Republican chokehold on a sprawling district in the near and far suburbs Washington, DC.  Since then Spanberger has developed a strong reputation for working across the aisle with Republicans on bills that help constituents. And now she's running for governor of Virginia with no primary opposition.  Follow Jeff Stein on Twitter:https://twitter.com/SpyTalkerFollow Michael Isikoff on Twitter:https://twitter.com/isikoff Follow SpyTalk on Twitter:https://twitter.com/talk_spySubscribe to SpyTalk on Substackhttps://www.spytalk.co/Take our listener survey where you can give us feedback.http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=BffJOlI7qQcF&ver=short

This episode makes a powerful case for compromise and pragmatism as crucial ingredients in passing laws and getting things done.  Our guests are Democrat Abigail Spanberger and Republican Brian Fitzpatrick, who are both members of the Problem Solvers Caucus: 62 Members of Congress, evenly split between Republicans and Democrats.  Although you wouldn't know it from national media coverage, The Problem Solvers meet frequently when Congress is in session to discuss bipartisan legislation. They're often successful in moving bills forward. We hear a substantive, compelling, personal conversation with two lawmakers who work together and put country before party.  We first recorded our conversation nearly four years ago. Despite their party labels they agree with each other much more than you might think.

Republicans are likely to nominate either Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears or Attorney General Jason Miyares. As for the Democrat, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney is throwing his hat into the ring to challenge Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger. But are our candidates forgetting that there's a whole 2024 election in the way?House Bill number one and Senate Bill number one are both aimed at a top priority for the new Democratic majority -- raising the minimum wage from $12 an hour to $15 an hour. Members of the General Assembly will be hearing opposition from the business community. Democrats seemed poised to put a bill raising the minimum wage on the desk of Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, who will have the power to amend or veto.The State Corporation Commission regulates everything from electricity and insurance to railroads and predatory lending. The commission has three members, although two seats are vacant, and Republicans and Democrats were unable to agree during the era of divided government.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Nancy Pelosi's January 6 committee failed miserably. It found not a shred of evidence tying Donald Trump to any kind of "insurrection" or violent attack on the Capitol Building, despite all the emails, texts, witnesses, and, most of all, the complete control of the entire apparatus and narrative without any opposition. The show-trial hearings proved nothing. Then, Muslim parents continue to be enraged by the hyper-sexualization of school children. America's children are on the ballot and the pornography industry is taking over their classrooms. Later, critics are calling for the Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire to fire Candace Owens because of her friendship with Kanye West in response to his grotesque comments about Jews. Conservatives must be secure in their views and don't need to hitch themselves to figures in popular culture. Afterward, Congressional candidate Yesli Vega joins the show to discuss why Rep. Abigail Spanberger must be defeated for her tax and spend policies and support for radical gender teaching in public schools and laws that allow the prosecution of parents who disagree with a school's woke agenda. Finally, US Senate candidate from Alaska, Kelly Tshibaka, calls in with an update on her race against Sen. Lisa Murkowski who is oftentimes the deciding vote for the Democrats even though she claims to be a Republican. Tshibaka says that shared American values are on the ballot and Alaskans must rally against Sen. Mitch McConnell's choice in this election.  Learn more about your ad choices.
