Watching ESPNs run up to NFL kickoff.
Ive seen this ad at least 3 times. Its Gov. Youngkin claiming success while pitching for Sears. There are pics and footage of her but shes not actually in the ad. Also, theres no I approved this message at the beginning or end. Maybe its by an outside source. Its on her X account though.

The first time I saw one of Abbies ads, just after the Minneapolis shooting, the AR-15 at the end actually gave me a cringe but I think thats the point. It works.
Shes adding her own personal opinion on legislation she has to sign after its been passed.
Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears signed Virginias in-progress reproductive rights constitutional amendment, but noted her personal objection to it in a handwritten note on the bill.
As president of the Senate, she is legally required to sign bills that the legislature passes but she doesnt have to add any comment to her signatures. Documents obtained by The Mercury show her explanation for why she is against Virginias effort to protect reproductive rights like abortion, in vitro fertilization and contraception access in Virginias Constitution.
I am morally opposed to this bill; no protection for the child, she wrote above her signature.
It is the second known message Earle-Sears has penned on a bill she signed but disagreed with the first being her note of objection scrawled on a bill last year that would prohibit officials from denying marriage licenses to same-sex or interracial couples, as The Virginia Scope first reported. It is also one of the clearest signals Earle-Sears has sent concerning her views on abortion and reproductive health care since beginning her campaign for governor.
