| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of Your Wrong with Molly Hemingway, editor-in-chief of the Federalist and David Harsani, a senior writer at the Washington Examiner. |

| 0:31.0 | So, Molly, we have a new governor here in Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, who ran a campaign promising moderation. |
| 0:41.9 | She, I believe, a few years ago during a Democratic Party meeting said that the party should |
| 0:48.1 | never use the word socialist again. |
