"Fox News's Charlie Hurt said he can't square why former Democratic President Barack Obama did not endorse the Black Republican nominee for governor of Virginia in Tuesday's election. Obama has been campaigning for former U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) in her race against Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears (R) to succeed Governor Glenn Youngkin (R), who is term-limited. Recent polling shows Earle-Sears trailing by double digits."
"But while appearing on Monday's edition of The Ingraham Angle, Earle-Sears and guest host Hurt expressed puzzlement at why Obama would not endorse her, a Republican who is the first Black woman to be elected to statewide office in Virginia. Earle-Sears noted the former president's endorsement last year of then-Vice President Kamala Harris, a Black Democrat, for president. And then of course, last year this time, he told everybody to vote for the Black woman, she said."
Charlie Hurt and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears expressed puzzlement and criticism that former President Barack Obama did not endorse the Black Republican nominee for Virginia governor. Obama campaigned for Democrat Abigail Spanberger in her race against Earle-Sears, who is trailing by double digits in recent polling. Earle-Sears referenced Obama's prior urging to vote for then-Vice President Kamala Harris as a Black woman and called his stance hypocritical. Hurt said he could not 'square' why Obama would withhold endorsement and argued that race relations deteriorated during the Obama administration.
