WINSOME, LOSE SOME: Spoiler: With a Campaign in Shambles and Primary Opponents on Her Heels, There Are No Wins for a Hiding Winsome Earle-Sears

March 14, 2025

VIRGINIA – It’s been an especially terrible, awful week for Winsome Earle-Sears as the GOP Governor’s primary accelerates and her opponents strike. And as the continuing chaos of the Sears campaign is exposed by the Washington Examiner, Sears goes a second week in a row without answering questions from the press. Where is Winsome? 
 
With her birthday earlier this week, she should have wished for a break. 

SETTLING THIS WEEK’S SCORE 

Winsome’s Wins:

    • None

Winsome’s Losses:

    • Winsome (STILL) Won’t Comment: Amidst her internal campaign chaos, primary challengers, and Trump’s attacks on Virginia jobs, Sears has spent the last two weeks dodging the media

    • Racing to the Right: A new story from the Virginia Mercury included commentary that “They’re having a primary because they’re not happy with Winsome Sears. Dave LaRock and Amanda Chase are getting in, [...], and that’s pushing Republicans further to the right.”

    • LaRock Solid Insults:  In an interview with former Trump Co-Chair John Fredericks, LaRock slammed Winsome Earle-Sears for being unable to unite the Virginia GOP and having no track record to run on, and if that wasn’t tough enough for Sears, LaRock then repeated the same attacks again and again

And with Winsome, it’s Virginians who stand to lose the most:

    • With a GOP primary field focused on causing chaos, proving their loyalty to Trump, and fighting with each other instead of fighting for the Commonwealth, Virginians will lose the most. 

    • No matter how much the GOP field fights, they all agree on the same radical agenda backing ongoing attacks on Virginia jobs and workers, defunding public schools, and ripping away reproductive rights.
