Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger of Virginia is calling out Donald Trump for pressuring Republicans in Congress to kill a bipartisan border agreement that was voted down in the Senate this week. The bill’s failure came in large part due to public opposition and private pressure from the former president and Republican frontrunner in this year’s presidential race.
“The very principle that we would have someone seeking higher office who says, ‘No, let that problem continue—let this problem continue to be pervasive because I want to use it as a political tool.’ That’s the opposite of everything we should see in our political system,” Spanberger, a Virginia gubernatorial candidate, told Dogwood in an exclusive interview.
