Science Rules: Bill Nye, Buttigieg to boost Spanberger in key VA city as Jones scandal looms over Dem ticket

Virginia's gubernatorial race intensifies as Spanberger campaigns with celebrity endorsers while facing pressure over scandal-plagued running mate Jay Jones.

Just on the other side of Skyline Drive from Jones’ rally site is the former district of then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert – the Republican whom Jones envisioned shooting in the head in texts revealed earlier this month.

Earle-Sears repeatedly interjected during the two gubernatorial candidates' debate to urge Spanberger to call for Jones to drop out once and for all.

On Monday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, headlined a fundraiser with Earle-Sears at the home of a Tysons Corner real estate developer.
