Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger Booed at Old Fiddlers’ Convention Amid Fallout over Her Redistricting Push
- Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was loudly booed at the Old Fiddlers' Convention in Galax, a rural area in Southwest Virginia, reflecting local opposition to her policies and a hostile reception from the crowd.
- The boos were connected to Spanberger's support for a controversial mid-decade redistricting effort that many rural voters and Republicans opposed, which was ultimately struck down by the Virginia Supreme Court for not following constitutional procedures.
- Critics also opposed proposed tax hikes, and some raised concerns about campaign promises and policy positions, increasing local anger in conservative-leaning rural regions.
- Despite the hostile reception, Spanberger defended her visit as a governor for all Virginians and acknowledged that her approval ratings remain low in rural conservative areas.
