Abigail Spanberger and Winsome Earle-Sears clash over Jay Jones' violent texts in lone Virginia governor's debate

The Virginia governor's race debate between Democrat Abigail Spanberger and Republican Winsome Earle-Sears was dominated by the controversy surrounding Democratic nominee for attorney general, Jay Jones. Texts from Jones suggesting a top Republican be shot in the head have led to bipartisan condemnation and calls for his withdrawal. Spanberger, who has condemned the texts, declined to say whether she still endorsed Jones. Earle-Sears repeatedly challenged Spanberger on the issue, while also attacking her stance on transgender issues, education, immigration and reproductive rights.
