Barack Obama has descended onto the Virginia campaign trail to attack the Trump White House, accusing it of “lawlessness” and “recklessness” while lending his star power to Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s campaign. The former president’s remarks — part of a weekend of high-profile stump appearances — are being used to nationalize a state race that should be decided by Virginians, not by D.C. elites.
Obama headlined rallies for Spanberger in the final weekend before the November 4 election, a move Democrats hope will fire up a wavering base and paper over their policy failures. The timetable and the hoopla make clear this is less about local issues and more about a national rescue mission for a party that keeps losing voters.
It’s rich to hear Obama lecture about the rule of law when his administration relied on unilateral executive actions to reshape policy without Congress, setting dangerous precedents for future presidents. Conservatives remember that past overreach all too well — and should remind voters that lawlessness is a two-way street when politicians abandon the rulemaking process.
Democrats importing former presidents and cabinet secretaries into a Virginia contest is a sign of panic, not strength. When your argument is to bring in celebrity endorsements instead of answers on crime, taxes, and education, you’re admitting your message doesn’t connect with everyday Americans.
Meanwhile, voters in the commonwealth care about bread-and-butter issues: rising costs, public safety, and an immigration system that actually works rather than headline-grabbing gestures. Polling and reporting show those concerns lead the list of voter priorities — not late-night moralizing from coastal elites.
Expect more last-minute plays from Democrats as Election Day approaches, including desperate procedural maneuvers that try to bend maps and rules to their advantage. Virginians should see through these tactics and demand accountability rather than partisan gamesmanship disguised as governance.
Patriots and hardworking Americans in Virginia should treat this as a test of whether we still believe in local control, law and order, and common-sense government. Turnout matters — show up, vote for leaders who respect the Constitution, and reject the spectacle of national elites lecturing our communities while trying to run our elections.
