Chase has persistently repeated Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen, once called for martial law to overturn the results and was censured by the state Senate for telling falsehoods and voicing support for those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In last year’s midterms, candidates who rejected the 2020 results fared poorly, with deniers losing every bid for statewide office in the swing states of Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
“If we can lock arms and get the House, get the Senate, change the election laws, get rid of election season, get a voter ID, ban these drop boxes that are not secure, we could have a red state that could be in play for 2024,” he said in an April interview on the John Fredericks radio show. Philip Hamilton, a longshot candidate with no primary opponent in a heavily Democratic Senate district that includes Charlottesville, said he questions whether Biden was legitimately elected but isn’t emphasizing the issue in his campaign.
Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, who at one point suggested that Trump could invoke the military to stop Biden from taking office, endorsed LaRock last month. He lauded LaRock for his “faithfulness to the cause” when LaRock wrote a letter asking then-Vice President Mike Pence to delay the certification of Virginia’s presidential electors in the 2020 race.
“I feel like the left is the one more interested in 2020 and the 2020 election and Jan. 6 because they inevitably have very little record to run on with Joe Biden’s administration and the wreckage and the damage that they’ve done to America over the last few years,” Williams said.

West Virginia's Bob Huggins arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in PittsburghWest Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. The arrest Friday night in Pittsburgh comes a month after the university suspended him for three games for using an anti-gay slur during a radio interview. According to a police report, officers saw an SUV with a shredded tire blocking traffic. Huggins was charged with driving under the influence. He'll have a preliminary hearing at a later date. It was Huggins’ second such arrest. The other occurred in 2004 when he was the coach at Cincinnati. West Virginia’s athletic department says it's aware of the incident and will take action once it completes a review.
