Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, who last year announced her candidacy to succeed Governor Glenn Youngkin, said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump won her support for the second time with his response to the assassination attempt he survived in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Earle-Sears made the remarks during an appearance on “The John Fredericks Show,” telling The Virginia Star publisher John Fredericks that even though she urged Republicans to move past Trump following the president’s contest of the 2020 election results, she was moved by his profession of faith following the assassination attempt.
“I am clearly pro-Trump, and in fact, I’ve always been pro-Trump prior to that,” said Earle-Sears, referring to her 2022 interview with former Fox News host Neil Cavuto. “I voted for him in 2016; people said he was of a certain way because he’s from New York, but I was raised in New York. I’m used to seeing people talk that way; I used to talk that way. Not a problem.”
