A Conversation With a Virginia Democrat: In a bipartisan win for President Biden, Democrats and Republicans have passed a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. Now comes the difficult part — trying to win approval for a $2 trillion social spending bill. For more moderate Democrats in swing districts, the vote will be among the toughest of the Biden era — and one that some fear could cost them their seats in next year’s midterms. To gauge their concerns, we speak to one such lawmaker, Representative Abigail Spanberger of Virginia. Guest: Representative Abigail Spanberger, Democrat of Virginia. by The Daily

Epstein, who covers campaigns and elections for The New York Times. by The Daily
