Abigail Spanberger: The Democrat responding to Trump’s State of the Union
US President Donald Trump delivers the State of the Union address, followed by a Democratic response from Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, the first woman to hold the office. Spanberger, a former CIA officer and moderate Democrat, is expected to focus on affordability and kitchen-table issues in her rebuttal. Democrats chose Spanberger for her decisive win in Virginia and hope her message will resonate nationally ahead of the midterm elections.
