Overview
- Shapiro will appear with Mikie Sherrill on Saturday in East Brunswick to kick off early in-person voting, attend a Souls to the Polls event in New Brunswick, and headline a fundraiser benefiting her campaign.
- He will then join Abigail Spanberger on Sunday for events in Virginia’s Hampton Roads region, including stops in Portsmouth and Norfolk.
- Spanberger is set to get additional lift from Barack Obama the Saturday before Election Day after a recent rally with Pete Buttigieg.
- Virginia Democrats are contending with backlash over violent text messages from attorney general nominee Jay Jones, which Spanberger has condemned and which have energized Republican messaging.
- Trump has not explicitly endorsed Winsome Earle-Sears, while Shapiro continues to build a national profile as a 2026 reelection candidate viewed by some as a 2028 prospect and a donor and ad surrogate in Pennsylvania races.
