Virginia Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears filed paperwork on Wednesday to run for governor in 2025, seeking to continue the GOP’s control of the governor’s mansion as sitting Gov. Glenn Youngkin is limited to one term. Earle-Sears’ filing makes her the first Republican candidate to jump into the 2025 governor’s race in the commonwealth, ABC 8 reported. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who entered the race last November, is currently the only Democratic candidate running for governor. The lieutenant governor announced she would hold a rally in Virginia Beach on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. ET. Earle-Sears rode a wave of Republican victories in Virginia in 2021, winning her race for lieutenant governor over Democrat Hala Ayala by just over 50,000 votes. Republicans swept the statewide office elections in 2021, with Youngkin winning the gubernatorial election by more than 60,000 votes and Attorney General Jason Miyares winning his election by 26,000.

Virginia law limits the governor’s and lieutenant governor’s time in office to one four-year term before they must step aside until the next election or run for a different position. Before Youngkin’s victory in 2021, Democrats had won four of the previous five gubernatorial elections in the commonwealth. Earle-Sears, an immigrant from Jamaica, served in the U.S. Marines before being elected to the Virginia General Assembly in an upset over a 20-year Democratic incumbent in 2001. During her time as lieutenant governor, Earle-Sears has caught the ire of Democrats and the legacy media on multiple occasions. In June 2023, Earle-Sears, who is black, slammed President Joe Biden’s appointment of Ketanji Brown-Jackson to the Supreme Court, saying, “Well, what you have is a justice who was chosen because she’s black and because she’s a woman.” Earlier this year, Earle-Sears responded to a Democrat male state senator who identifies as a woman by saying, “Yes, sir.” The state senator, Danica Roem, stormed out of the room after Earle-Sears’ comment. Upon returning, Roem refused to speak after being recognized by Earle-Sears. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “I said something that upset Sen. Roem. Let it be known I am not here to upset anyone,” she said. “I am here to do the job that the people of Virginia have called me to do and that is to treat everyone with respect and dignity. I myself have at times not been afforded that same respect and dignity, but in this body and as long as I am president of the Senate and by the grace of God, I will be treated with respect and dignity and I will treat everyone else with respect and dignity.”

Some of Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s family came out in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump this week, snubbing the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee. The eight individuals took a photo standing in front of a flag that says, “Trump 2024 — Take America Back” while wearing t-shirts that say, “Nebraska Walz’s For Trump.” The former president shared the photo on social media, writing: “It is a Great Honor to have your Endorsement. I look forward to meeting you soon!” Former Nebraska Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster first posted the photo on social media. A spokesperson for Herbster said: “The family in the picture are the descendants of Francis Walz, who was brother to Tim Walz’s grandfather. They’re all Walzes and spouses.” The people in the photo confirmed their relationship to Walz in a statement to the Associated Press. “Shortly after Governor Tim Walz was named the Democrat Party Vice Presidential nominee, our family had a get-together,” they said. “We had t-shirts made to show support for President Trump and J.D. Vance and took a group picture. That photo was shared with friends, and when we were asked for permission to post the picture, we agreed.” “The picture is real,” they continued. “The shirts are real. We are the Nebraska Walz family and we are related to Gov. Tim Walz, our grandfathers were brothers. The message on the shirts speaks for itself, ‘Nebraska Walzs for Trump.'” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Walz’s sister, Sandy Dietrich, claimed to the AP that they “weren’t close with them” and they “didn’t know them.” “I know who I’m voting for,” she added. “That’s all I can control.” Walz’s brother has already said that he does not support Walz because of issues that he has with his far-Left beliefs and his character.

A former top California Democrat said she is switching to the Republican Party and voting for former President Donald Trump. Gloria Romero, who led the Democratic majority in California’s state Senate for three years until 2008, announced her decision Wednesday during a press conference at the California State Capitol. “Today, I am leaving the Democratic Party,” Romero said. “I stayed for as long as I could. I tried reforms, I spoke out, I voted.” Thank you SteveLet’s make California Golden Again! https://t.co/tYfIqOFyWO — GloriaRomero (@GloriaJRomero) September 5, 2024 “Today, I say goodbye, adios, I’ve had enough,” she said. “I am now another near lifelong Democrat who is joining the growing number of people — including key groups, Latinos — who are leaving the Democratic Party.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Romero said she has changed her voter registration from Democrat to Republican, saying the Republican Party has become the “champion of working people” under Trump. “I will vote for Donald Trump this fall,” she said. Romero cited several issues that drove her to abandon the Democratic Party, including what she called “rigged” primaries. Democrats “eradicated” 14 million votes to install their “preferred candidate,” Vice President Kamala Harris as presidential nominee, Romero said, comparing the party’s tactics to Latin American dictatorships. She also cited gender ideology, saying it is “terrifying” that she, as a feminist, “would be condemned for saying that I can define a woman.” “This is the so-called party of women which has eradicated Title IX protections for sports equity for women,” Romero said, adding that, “while I am pro-choice, I will not support a party that advocates for abortion to full term.  I am a mother and refuse to call myself a ‘birthing person.'” Romero, who is Mexican American, also criticized Democrats on immigration, saying that while she has long embraced pathways to citizenship, she rejects the “mockery of citizenship and the throwing open of our southern border by the ineffective Border Czar and the inept Biden.” She also cited “rampant inflation” and censorship, saying Democrats have become the party of “locking people up for free speech.” Romero also criticized Democrats’ lackluster response to the terror group Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, as well as the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. “The Republican Party has become the party of peace while the Democrats have marched towards endless war,” she said. “Perhaps my biggest disconnect with my old Democratic Party has been over school choice, education freedom and the right to have quality schools for all — especially for poor and minority children trapped in chronically failing schools,” she said. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI As chairwoman of the education committee, Romero helped pass a controversial “parent trigger” bill that allowed a majority of parents of a “failing school” to restructure it. “This is not the Democratic Party that I once championed, I don’t recognize it anymore and I cannot continue,” she said. Romero was also the California co-chair for the re-election of former President Barack Obama. She was the first woman to serve as state Senate majority leader in California. She was joined at the Capitol on Wednesday by Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley, Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher, California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson, and Fox News contributor Steve Hilton, who is weighing a run for governor.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris during a town hall event on Wednesday for the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump made the remarks during the event with Fox News’s Sean Hannity in Pennsylvania. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “They want open borders,” Trump said of the Democratic Party. “She wants open borders. Now she’s all of a sudden said, ‘Oh, I think we’ll close the borders.’ She was the border czar, whether you like it or not, but, even if you don’t want to use that term, she was in charge of the border.” “It’s the worst border in the history of the world, not just here,” he continued. “There’s never been a country that allowed 21 million people to come in over a three-year period. There’s never been. And 21 million people, many of whom are from prisons, many of whom are murderers, and drug dealers, and child traffickers.” Trump highlighted how many of the victims of Harris’ open borders policies are women who are trafficked. “They’re coming in now and they’re putting them in our Social Security accounts, and they’re putting them in Medicare,” he added. “And just one thing, if you take a look, take a look. Over the last week, I said this was going to happen. And it’s happening because these people are tougher than our criminals are, our criminals are nice people by comparison.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI WATCH: PRESIDENT TRUMP: “[Kamala] wants open borders… She was the border czar, whether you like it or not… It’s the worst border in the history of the world.
