Virginia Republican faces calls to quit after radio host remark about Jeffries

Democrats are pressing Rep. Jen Kiggans to resign after a Richmond radio host used a racist line about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries during an interview she did not disavow; Kiggans says she did not condone the language and that the host spoke for himself, while Democrats including Nadine Clark and Elaine Luria’s ally push for accountability amid a high-stakes reelection race and Virginia redistricting debates. Republicans largely defend Kiggans, framing the episode as political theater.
