Democrat Spanberger and Republican Reid meet at Henrico polls: 'Hate to be the one to tell you this'
Table of Contents
Early voting began Friday morning at the Henrico Government Center, where more than a dozen voters lined up to cast their ballots in Virginia's statewide elections.
A few hours after the polls opened in Henrico, some of the statewide candidates showed up to make their pitch to voters, including Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate John Reid.
When asked about the nation's political climate, Spanberger said it needs to return to respectful debate and disagreement.
"Our children deserve better than what they are witnessing from some of the adults around them," Spanberger said to a crowd of supporters outside the polls.
"Let me do that, too," Reid replied to the displeasure of some Spanberger supporters. "I'm headed out. I'm glad to see you."
"Hey, hey, hey. Listen. John Reid has put his name on the ballot. I hate to be the one to tell you this — I did not vote for you today," Spanberger joked.
"I know that! And I return it," Reid playfully countered. "But that's OK. But I'd like to demonstrate that we can still be friends. You live in Henrico, I live in Henrico. I'm glad to see you always."
"But we're too busy for coffee any time soon my friend," Spanberger said.
"Probably true," Reid replied.
