Virginia's Attorney General Race: The Most Expensive and Scandal-Ridden Contest of the YearThe Virginia Attorney General race is making headlines, not just for its candidates, but also for its record-breaking spending. With over $36 million poured in, it's set to become the most expensive attorney general race in the state's history and one of the priciest nationwide. Republicans have spent around $21.9 million, while Democrats aren't far behind at $14.9 million. The race has also been marred by a scandal involving Democratic candidate Jay Jones, who made violent remarks in private texts and has since apologized. The controversy has given a boost to the sitting Republican attorney general, Jason Miyares, who is now tied with Jones in polls. The race is now the most closely watched statewide contest in Virginia, with voters eagerly awaiting every development. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
