Rep. Abigail Spanberger
Spanberger talks Trump and Jan. 6
2025 gubernatorial hopeful Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Henrico) talked to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 Insurrection this weekend.
Spanberger is running for the Democratic nomination for governor and is not seeking reelection to the House of Representatives.
Spanberger was first asked about her opinion on the Supreme Court’s decision to take up Trump’s appeal. He is asking the court to overturn a decision in Colorado to leave him off their presidential ballot. The state decided he cannot appear on their primary election ballot due to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — which bans anyone from running for public office who has engaged in an insurrection or rebellion.
Maine’s Secretary of State also made the same decision.
