Sanders, Dem leaders dodge questions on Virginia candidate who joked about shooting GOP lawmaker

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and top Democrats refused to answer whether they believe Virginia Democratic candidate Jay Jones should drop out over violent text messages he sent.

The highly competitive Virginia gubernatorial showdown between former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin is a closely watched statewide race with national implications. The face off is seen as a key bellwether ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when the Democrats will try to defend their razor thin House and Senate majorities. Virginia and New Jersey are the only two states to hold races for governor in the year after a presidential election, guaranteeing they receive outsized attention across the country. Among the key issues in the election are education, jobs and the economy, crime, and abortion. And even though they're not on the ballot, both President Biden and former President Trump have become major factors in the race, where all sides have spent nearly $50 million to run ads during the general election campaign.
