Former Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger received welcome news in her campaign against Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to become Virginia ’s next governor , with the Center for Politics’ “Crystal Ball” rating the race in her favor.

The Center for Politics on Thursday published ratings for a number of races, including in Virginia, where Democrats are hoping to flip the governor’s seat blue. Polling shows Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is trailing by a narrow margin in the state’s gubernatorial race to replace term-limited Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), although some polls indicate she has made strides in closing in on her Democratic rival in recent months.
