I did.

It also depends on how many are still going to vote straight party line. If it's our side, they might still vote for Jones.

Is he’s such a terrible attorney general. He’s done practically nothing to protect Virginia against trumps impoundment of federal funding. In other states AGs sue and win and get funding back. Miyares is awful. He does nothing while trying to drum up fake culture war lawsuits with schools. He’s worse than ineffectual.

Those Republicans clutching their pearls while their own party members text each other racial slurs, loving hitler and talk about gas chambers. Jones apologized for the remarks said out of frustration for the VA Republican speaker refusal to make any progress in common sense gun laws while people keep dying needless deaths.

Meanwhile 20 attorney generals sued Trump regime to stop illegal federal workers firings and Miyares doesn’t join. He’s letting Trump illegally fire huge swaths of the VA federal workforce and he still supports Trump and won’t lift a finger to help them.
