Jay Jones survived 2 scandals — and still won in Virginia's attorney general race

In Virginia’s race for the office of attorney general on Tuesday night, Democratic candidate Jay Jones’ win against Republican incumbent Jason Miyares proved that an eleventh-hour scandal won’t necessarily extinguish a political campaign.

Actually, make that two scandals.

The polls show a narrower win than the state’s gubernatorial race, which Democrat Abigail Spanberger won. Jones surpassed Miyares by less than 200,000 votes, according to The New York Times’ election results, even making a note that the tighter race was likely a result of the scandal that was published about Jones last month.

Jones took home 52.8% of the votes compared to Miyares receiving 46.8% and .4% write-ins.
