SD. Obama takes aim at Trump in Virginia get-out-the-vote event for Spanberger

🔥 Obama Blasts Trump in Virginia Rally — “Every Day is Halloween, All Tricks, No Treats” 🎃🇺🇸

NORFOLK, VA — Former President Barack Obama didn’t hold back on Saturday, lambasting his successor Donald Trump in a fiery rally aimed at boosting voter support for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.

“We’ve got a president who thinks it’s OK to use the Justice Department to go after his political opponents,” Obama declared to a jeering audience at the Ted Constant Convocation Center.

With early voting ending in Virginia the same day, Obama quipped:

“Don’t boo, vote.”

The former president painted a stark picture of Trump’s tenure:

“We’ve got a commander-in-chief who fires decorated officers because he thinks they might be more loyal to the Constitution than to him. It’s like every day is Halloween, except it’s all tricks and no treats.”

Much of the speech focused on Trump’s actions that Obama claims are eroding democracy — from deploying the National Guard in Democratic-led cities to slashing the federal workforce.

Spanberger, energized by Obama’s endorsement, told the crowd:

“On Tuesday, we are going to send a message. Virginia is turning the page.”

The rally drew a mix of seasoned voters and first-timers, many of whom admitted Obama’s presence was their main motivation to attend.

“I’m voting for her, my full support. And obviously Obama. I love Obama, so I just want to see him,” said 18-year-old Zoe Martin of Virginia Beach.

Organizers even guided attendees to nearby early-voting sites, ensuring turnout remained high — a move that underscores how critical Democrats view Virginia ahead of Election Day.

With just three days left, the race for Virginia’s governor’s mansion is heating up, and Obama’s rally may give Spanberger the boost she needs to flip the state blue.
