And forestry, we want to grow here. In the Economy, which is their main concern, for what they have wonders about us, “Kaine added.

Kaine said the party should return to the “basic concepts of bread and butter.”

Tapper backed Kaine and pointed out that the State had a Republican governor, Governor Glenn Youngkin.

“For 1.8%,” Kaine replied. “The last two Republicans who won the governorate in Virginia won by comfortable two digits. Our governor is a Republican. He ran for a very good year to be a republican, and won, barely.”

The Senator of Virginia also expressed hope for the state governor elections this year and said that the Democrats had a good opportunity.

“I think that the governor’s career in Virginia, November 2025, will be the first chimney test of a democratic return. And I feel very, very well with that at this time,” he added.

Kaine has criticized several of the first executive actions of President Donald Trump, including the offer of offers for the purchase of federal employees, which is part of a greater effort to ensure that federal employees return to the office.

“He has no authority to do this. He is not deceiving for this type,” said Virginia’s Democrat.
