Trump praises Miyares, does not mention Earle-Sears in Virginia tele-rally

President Trump praised Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, but did not mention Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in a tele-rally before Election Day.

“Get out and vote tomorrow for Jason Miyares, it’s so important,” Trump said Monday on the call, The Hill news outlet reported. “And the Republicans up and down the ballot. We have Republicans up and down.” 

Trump repeatedly praised Miyares, at one point referring to him as “maybe the best” attorney general.

“Jason Miyares is a fantastic man, a fantastic attorney general,” Trump said. “He has my complete and total endorsement.”

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who was also on the call, mentioned GOP gubernatorial nominee Earle-Sears, along with the rest of the statewide Republican ticket.

“We have great candidates in Winsome Sears for governor, John Reid for lieutenant governor, and of course, our great attorney general, who I think is the best attorney general in America; we gotta rehire him again as our attorney general,” Youngkin said.

Trump on Monday endorsed several congressional Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in New York City’s mayoral race.

Last month, Trump praised Earle-Sears as “very good,” but stopped short of backing her.

Following the 2022 midterm elections, Earle-Sears criticized Trump after Republicans' underwhelming performance, saying that a leader understands when they have become a liability. Trump responded, calling her “a phony” and saying he never felt good about her.
