Democratic Representative Abigail Spanberger has announced her bid for Virginia governor in 2025 and will not seek re-election to the House in 2024. Spanberger, known for her moderate stance, has received early endorsements. The NRCC views her retirement as a setback for Democrats in Virginia's Seventh District. Her decision leaves a House seat crucial for control of the chamber open. Meanwhile, Yevgeny 'Eugene' Vindman, who faced Trump's criticism during the first impeachment, is running for Spanberger's seat.
