George Soros and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker have contributed a combined $270,000 to Jay Jones's campaign for Virginia attorney general, just days before revelations surfaced about Jones's violent text messages targeting a Republican colleague and his children. Both Soros and Pritzker, known for their advocacy of strict gun control measures, have not commented on the controversy, nor have major anti-gun groups that previously endorsed Jones. The scandal has shaken the attorney general's race and could impact other Democratic candidates in Virginia, but party leaders and donors have remained largely silent. Recent polling indicates that the controversy is influencing voters, with Jones now trailing his Republican opponent.
