Former President Barack Obama is scheduled to join former U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger for a campaign rally Saturday, Nov. 1 in Norfolk, marking the first visit to Hampton Roads by a Democratic president in more than a decade.

Obama, who last campaigned in the region in 2012, endorsed Spanberger last week in her campaign for Virginia governor. The endorsement cited her focus on lowering costs for families and protecting voting and reproductive rights. 

“Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year, and I am proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger for governor,” Obama said in a statement released by the campaign. 

Spanberger, who represented Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, is seeking to succeed Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, whose term ends in January. Details about the rally, including the time and location, have not been released.
