VA-GOV, VA-LG: Winsome Earle-Sears (R), John Reid (R) speak to each other for first time in weeks

[RandySF]

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — After not speaking to each other for eight weeks, Republican nominees Winsome Earle-Sears and John Reid have spoken to each other.

Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican nominee for Virginia’s governor, spoke to John Reid, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, on Wednesday after eight weeks since they last spoke, according to a source familiar with the situation.

The Republican Party of Virginia posted to X on Wednesday, the day after the primaries, that Virginia Republicans are “UNITED behind our ticket and ready to FIGHT and WIN this November,” with photos of Earle-Sears, Reid and Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares.

Earle-Sears is facing Democrat Abigail Spanberger in the race for governor, and Reid is facing state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, the Democratic nominee, in the race for lieutenant governor.

1. They still haven't appeared together.

It seems like an upside down ticket. Miyares IS the incumbent AG, which carries weight with it. The VA GOP basically had to go with Sears. LG is a stepping stone politically. Reid is old old school GOP but…
I listened to John on the radio I just thought he was asking for a big leap. Internal and external. He got the nom but then there’s turnout. 👀

Aaaand then there’s Abbie. Probably the best Dem candidate in the country.
