With less than two weeks until Election Day, Jay Jones, Virginia's Democratic nominee for attorney general, has a brand new scandal to juggle. Jones, who already made national headlines for texting violent fantasies about murdering a Republican politician and his children, now faces criminal investigation over his community service arrangement following a 2022 reckless driving conviction.
And this guy wants to be the state’s top law enforcement officer?
The race that once looked like a toss-up is increasingly tilting toward incumbent Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares, who's watching his opponent self-destruct in spectacular fashion.
