2+ hour ago (449+ words) The Altria Theater in Richmond will host Kamala Harris on Feb. 2 for a 7 p.m. conversation in partnership with Fountain Bookstore. Harris was the first woman vice president and poised to be the first woman president, after Joe Biden decided under pressure not to seek re-election in 2024, giving her just over 100 days to secure the votes to assume the nation's top job.

While the upcoming events are billed as part of her 107 Days tour, it seems that her pitch to Americans may be about more than selling copies of her book; it could be…...

" Virginia Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger spoke at the Hampton Roads Chamber's annual meeting, outlining her plans to guide Virginia's economy through what she calls growing national uncertainty while keeping the region and families front and center.
