Sears is touting Vivek Ramaswamy’s endorsement and plans to campaign with him Friday

VIRGINIA – After cheering on Donald Trump’s job cuts and downplaying and dismissing the devastating impacts for Virginians, Winsome Earle-Sears will campaign alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, a key architect of DOGE who is responsible for firing thousands of Virginians. Democratic nominee for Governor Abigail Spanberger today called on Sears to cancel the event. 
 
“Cheering on Trump’s job cuts and then downplaying the devastating impact on Virginians and the Commonwealth wasn’t enough for Winsome Earle-Sears. Now she’s campaigning with Vivek Ramaswamy, an architect of DOGE who is responsible for firing thousands of Virginians and throwing the Commonwealth’s economy into chaos,” said DPVA Spokesperson Maggie Amjad.
