Virginia's top lawyer makes unexpected move about his political future
Virginia Attorney General **Jason Miyares** chooses to stay in his current role instead of aiming higher. His decision comes as questions circled about possible run for governorʼs seat
In an unexpected turn-of-events Jason Miyares Virginiaʼs lead attorney made his choice clear about next years election. The right-wing legal chief (who focuses on election-fraud cases) decided to keep his current job instead of trying for the governors seat
The long-awaited announcement came through a video-message where Miyares – whos been in politics for roughly 10 years – explained his wish to continue as the states top-prosecutor. His decision ends months of back-and-forth talk about whether heʼd try to replace Glenn Youngkin; the current governor cant run again because of state rules
The move shows Miyares dedication to his legal work: pushing forward with conservative-minded cases and managing state-wide prosecutions. His choice to stay put means the race for Youngkins job will need different candidates; the current governor hits his term-limit around early-26
