 Obama to campaign with Spanberger in Virginia
by Julia Manchester - 10/21/25 7:34 AM ET

Former President Obama will campaign with Democratic Virginia gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger in Norfolk, Va., on Nov. 1, Spanberger’s campaign announced Tuesday.

Obama last campaigned in Hampton Roads in 2012. His upcoming campaign stop with Spanberger will mark the first campaign visit of any Democratic president to the area in more than 10 years.

The announcement comes less than a week after Obama cut two ads urging Virginia voters to back Spanberger in next month’s governor’s race.

“Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year,” Obama said in the ads.

Obama, one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party, is no stranger to Virginia off-year elections. The former president endorsed and campaigned for former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) in his unsuccessful 2021 bid for the governor’s mansion.

The former president flipped Virginia in the 2008 presidential election, winning the state by 6 points. He won the Old Dominion again in 2012 by less than 4 points.

@Right_in_Virginia what's your sense of this race on the ground?  The AG race?

Obama to campaign for McAuliffe in tight race for Virginia governor

Henry J. Gomez  |  Oct. 12, 2021  |  10:05 AM EDT




Former President Barack Obama will join a rally for Terry McAuliffe next week, another sign of the urgency national Democrats feel in Virginia's gubernatorial race.

McAuliffe announced Obama's visit — scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 23, in Richmond — during an appearance Tuesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"There's going to be a lot of excitement," McAuliffe said. "The stakes are so huge. People don't understand. They come out in presidential years, but they have to come out in this off-year."

Virginia holds its election for governor every four years in the year after a presidential election, making the contest both a referendum on the party in the White House and a bellwether for the following year's midterm races. McAuliffe served as governor from 2014 to 2018, but state law prohibits consecutive terms.

The race is shaping up to be highly competitive. A poll last week from Christopher Newport University placed McAuliffe at 49 percent and Republican Glenn Youngkin at 44 percent, within the 4.2 point margin of error. The same poll in late August found McAuliffe with a 9-point lead.  .  .  .

Let's hope Obammy is the usual kiss of death to a campaign.
