Jay Jones Polls Reveal Impact Of Leaked Texts On Virginia AG Race
https://www.newsweek.com/jay-jones-p...-race-10851444
Jay Jones' chances of winning the race to become
Virginia's next
attorney general have dropped after leaked texts revealed he previously suggested a former Virginia House speaker
should receive "two bullets to the head."
According to new
polling, the proportion of people who support Jones, an attorney who served in the House of Delegates from 2018 to 2022, has decreased, as the Democrat prepares to face the incumbent attorney general, Republican Jason Miyares in the upcoming election.
Newsweek reached out to Jones and Miyares to comment on this story outside of normal business hours.
Why It Matters
The new polling shows that Jones' behavior could have a huge impact on the race and boost the Republicans chances of success, thus impacting the future of legislation and policy in the state.
The leaked texts also come at a time of increasing political polarization in the U.S., with the threat of violence hanging in the air, especially after the
assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Their publication has fueled scrutiny of how public figures should use language.
What To Know
The texts, sent to Republican State Delegate Carrie Coyner in August 2022, reportedly spoke about shooting then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. They were sent amid a conversation about tributes from Republicans about Joe Johnson Jr., a moderate Democrat and former state legislator who had just died. Jones called Gilbert a "POS" and wondered what he "would say about me if I died."
“Three people, two bullets,” Jones added.
“Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot,” Jones wrote. “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”
The messages were first reported by
National Review.
Newsweek has not independently verified the messages, but Jones has not questioned their veracity and has apologized for them.
In the wake of their publication on October 3, Jones' polling has suffered. According to an internal poll for the Jones conducted by Hart Research Associates and reported by
The New York Post, Jones is leading Miyares 46 percent to 45 percent. The poll of 600 Virginia voters was conducted between October 4 and 6. This shows his lead declining from previous polling.
