Pro-Trump Martial-Law-Pushing Amanda Chase 'Getting Things in Order' to Run for Congress

Republican Virginia State Senator Amanda Chase, who pushed for martial law in the wake of President Joe Biden's 2020 election win, has announced that she is "getting things in order" for a possible Congressional run.

Chase, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, said during a Friday interview on The John Fredericks Show that she had filed paperwork to run in Virginia's 7th Congressional District but was waiting until the final redistricting lines had been drawn before "officially announcing" her candidacy. Chase previously sought the Republican gubernatorial nomination but lost out to Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin earlier this year.

"We have filed the paperwork," Chase said. "We're getting things in order to run for Congress. I've not officially announced and we won't announce that until after the lines have been officially drawn because we don't know where we're going to land."

"Right now, quite honestly, until they draw the lines no one can really run for anything," she added. "The only thing I do know is that I'm in the Senate for two more years, that's the only real guarantee that I have at this point."

Cool....I hope she runs on her deep understanding on how Democracies work. 81-74. Your team lost.

Cantor lost to David Brat who then was defeated in 2018 by Abigail Spanberger. She won reelection in 2020. But both of her wins were by narrow margins. It's a competitive district with a history of electing conservatives (went for Biden over Trump in 2020 by just 1 percent).
