Incredibly, there's been no real discussion of the positions on immigration that Abigail Spanberger took en route to her blowout victory. So I took a look. What I found challenges a lot of pundit narratives. It's all in this piece and thread:
This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.
