Nov. 3, 2025, 5:00 AM ESTBy Bridget Bowman and Adam EdelmanThe candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia crisscrossed their states in the final weekend of the 2025 campaign season, ahead of the first big elections since President Donald Trump’s victory in 2024. The races will be the early tests for major questions facing both political parties after 2024, from how to navigate the high cost of living to how to appeal to increasingly swingy Latino voters, as well as which side is energized going into the 2026 midterms. Republicans face a familiar challenge of turning out Trump’s coalition when he is not on the ballot, while Democrats are looking for a boost after a demoralizing election last year. In Virginia, former Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger has consistently led her Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, in polling and fundraising throughout the entire campaign. A more competitive race has formed in New Jersey, according to recent polling, where Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill is facing Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator. Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill.USA Today Network fileBoth Sherrill and Spanberger were elected to Congress in the party’s 2018 midterm blue wave during Trump’s first term, and they lived together while serving in the House. The former roommates are now looking to lead their party’s electoral pushback against Trump following his return to the White House. “In 2025, it really feels like the important fight is at the state level in these governor’s offices, because with the president having the presidency, the GOP having the Senate and the House, and even co-opting the Supreme Court, the last bastion feels like governors races and governors standing in the breach,” Sherrill told NBC News in a Friday interview. While Democrats have brought some high profile surrogates to their states, Republicans have largely campaigned on their own. Trump has not campaigned in person either state, despite endorsing Ciattarelli. (Trump has not endorsed Earle-Sears.)But the president is holding two telephone rallies Monday night for candidates in New Jersey and Virginia.Both Spanberger and Sherrill had some help from former President Barack Obama at rallies on Saturday. Obama appeared with Sherrill in Newark, the state’s largest city, amid some concerns about Black voter turnout. In Virginia, Obama rallied supporters in Norfolk and encouraged them to send a message to the rest of the country. “Lord knows we need that light. We need that inspiration.” Obama said at both rallies. “Because, let’s face it, our country and our politics are in a pretty dark place right now.”Obama told voters in both states they have the opportunity to “set a glorious example for this nation.” Other prominent Democrats — including potential future presidential contenders — hit the campaign trail in both states in the final days. In New Jersey, the state’s two Democratic senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim, campaigned for Sherrill, along with Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy. Their weekend events followed other top Democrats’ forays into the state, including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin. Many of the same names crossed through Virginia as well. In Virginia, Spanberger continued her closing statewide bus tour — which had kicked off on Oct. 25 — making stops on Saturday in Norfolk, alongside Obama, and on Sunday in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. On Monday, she’s scheduled to hold a trio of final-day events in the region of her old Richmond-area congressional district.Abigail Spanberger on Capitol Hill in 2024.Mariam Zuhaib / AP fileHer closing message has centered on her campaign-long focus on economic and affordability issues, as well as a sharp rejection of Trump’s policies and the chaos she said they’ve created in Virginia’s economy.“With the political turmoil coming out of Washington right now, this election is an opportunity,” she said during her Norfolk speech.“In Virginia, we need a governor who will recognize that Virginians are struggling to afford the rising costs in health care, housing and energy,” she added.Polls in Virginia have consistently shown Spanberger leading. Early voting kicked off in the commonwealth more than six weeks ago, and as of Saturday, more than 1.43 million people had already voted — nearly 44% of total turnout in the 2021 governor’s race.While Republicans did not see the same quantity of high-profile surrogates on the trail in the final days, Earle-Sears had support from popular Gov. Glenn Youngkin.Earle-Sears held campaign events on Saturday in Abingdon, a heavily Republican area in southwest Virginia, and in Loudoun County. Youngkin, the term-limited Republican governor, appeared at those events, alongside the rest of the Republican ticket — John Reid, the lieutenant governor nominee, and Jason Miyares, the incumbent attorney general. The same lineup appeared at Earle-Sears campaign events on Sunday in Prince George and Hanover, near Richmond. Earle-Sears was slated to hold more events Monday in Roanoke and in Virginia Beach and Manassas, where Republican National Committee chair Joe Gruters was also scheduled to join.

Asked after he cast his ballot on Friday if any big names would join him on the trail, he told reporters, “Jack Ciattarelli.” This is Ciattarelli’s third run for governor after losing the 2017 GOP primary and becoming the GOP nominee in 2021, when he lost a surprisingly close, 3-point race to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. Ciattarelli said Friday that this year feels different.“The issues I was talking about in ‘21 were percolating. Today, they’re at a complete boil. We’ve got an affordability crisis, a public safety crisis, a public education crisis, a housing crisis, including over-development,” Ciattarelli said. “There’s a lot less indifference this time around,” Ciattarelli later added. “Back in ‘21 I had too many people inside New Jersey, including Republicans, and people around the country who didn’t think I had a shot in hell. They now know differently because of our performance in 21.”Public polls have shown a competitive campaign in New Jersey, although the state of the race has varied depending on the survey. On Thursday alone, five independent polls came out showing Sherrill ranging from a 9-point advantage to a negligible 1-point edge.Both Ciattarelli and Sherrill have also made their closing pitches on the airwaves in ads highlighting the state’s high cost of living — part of more than $100 million in ads in the race, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. Since the June primary, Democrats have spent nearly $64 million on ads through Election Day, while Republicans have spent more than $42 million. “I’ll serve you as governor to drive your costs down,” Sherrill says in her closing TV ad. “On day one, I’m declaring a state of emergency on utility costs to lower your family’s bills. And when I’m governor, no sales tax increases, period. And I’ll fight for your family just as hard as I fight for mine.” Ciattarelli used one of his closing spots to cast himself as the “change” candidate, tying Sherrill to Murphy, the two-term Democratic governor. “We need someone who’s honest with a real plan, someone who gets it,” Ciattarelli says in the ad. “As governor, I’ll fight every day for people who work hard and play by the rules because that’s what you deserve. Together, I know we can fix New Jersey. It’s time.”In Virginia, Earle-Sears’ closing ads have largely focused on attacking Spanberger, highlighting Jones’ texts and her positions on the rights of transgender people, as well as tying her to national Democrats like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.“She’s weak, she’s wrong, we can’t trust her,” the ad’s narrator says.Spanberger, for her part, has used her closing ad to revisit her personal story, talking about her record of public service, including as a CIA officer.Bridget BowmanBridget Bowman is a national political reporter for NBC News.Adam EdelmanAdam Edelman is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 13, 2025, 10:49 AM ESTBy Rebecca Cohen and Jay BlackmanPresident Donald Trump on Wednesday night signed a bill that reopened the government after 43 days, paving the way for airlines to restore regular flight schedules and air traffic controllers, who have not been receiving pay as they worked through the shutdown, to return to work.But it remains unclear when full flight schedules and paychecks will be restored after the Federal Aviation Administration was forced to mandate flight restrictions at 40 high-traffic airports last week. On Wednesday night, the FAA ordered that cancellations would remain at 6% on Thursday, after two days at that rate and an initial plan to ramp up to 10% by Friday. As of Thursday morning, nearly 1,000 flights within the U.S. had already been canceled for the day, and more than 900 were delayed, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. On Wednesday, only 900 flights were canceled — the lowest number since the FAA flight reductions began. It is not immediately clear if the flight disruptions were all connected to staffing issues. Airlines have said they are ready to ramp up as soon as they receive government clearance, which includes the FAA lifting the mandate on flight restrictions. And as soon as enough air traffic controllers return to work, ensuring that the increased number of planes can fly safely.“As the federal government reopens and controllers receive their backpay, the FAA will continue to monitor staffing levels and review key trend lines,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a Wednesday statement.It’s promising that staffing triggers have decreased in the last few days, after weeks when controllers were calling out “stressed” under the pressure of working without knowing when their next paycheck would arrive. Government officials have said that air traffic controllers are expected to receive about 70% of their missed pay within 48 hours of the government reopening, with the remaining 30% coming within the week.Airlines cannot cancel and then un-cancel flights, so they need every puzzle piece to fall into place before the schedule returns to normalcy.Delta CEO Ed Bastian said on CNBC on Wednesday that he thinks flights will return to normal by the weekend. Southwest said in its statement, “We’re optimistic that the FAA will allow airlines to resume normal operations within a few days.”Fortunately, fears of an especially messy Thanksgiving travel week — when 31 million Americans are set to fly — have been thwarted, as airlines are ready to go more quickly than previously thought.Even when flights are operating at 100% again, however, the issue of understaffing at air traffic control locations nationwide remains.The industry still needs more than 3,000 air traffic controllers to fill staffing gaps and ensure that employees — many of whom were already working six-day workweeks before the government shutdown — can return to business as usual.“When the government is funded again nothing will change at BNA,” said Garld Graves, a retired air traffic controller with 28 years of experience, referring to Nashville International Airport“What the agency has been doing because of the shutdown — cutting flights, approving staffing triggers — is something that should have been happening all along at places that are short staffed,” he told NBC News.He said he hopes that the FAA and Duffy “will continue to argue, fuss and fight, like they have promised during the shutdown, to create better opportunities to improve staffing levels and give controllers what they deserve.”Airlines for America, the trade association representing major U.S. airlines, echoed Graves’ wishes and called on Congress to “ensure future funding bills do not allow aviation to become collateral damage in Washington’s policy debates.”“The FAA’s Airport and Airway Trust Fund currently has $5 billion that could be used to pay air traffic controllers during future shutdowns,” the organization said in a statement. “We ask Congress to consider legislation that would implement a long-term solution.”Rebecca CohenRebecca Cohen is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.Jay BlackmanJay Blackman is an NBC News producer covering such areas as transportation, space, medical and consumer issues.
