Virginia’s “Trump In Heels” Drops Bid For US House

Richmond’s CBS News affiliate reports:

Conservative Virginia state Sen. Amanda Chase (R) announced on Monday that she will not run for Congress this year as a result of redistricting.

Virginia’s new congressional map, which was approved by the commonwealth’s Supreme Court last week, moved Chase’s current residence from the 7th Congressional District to the 1st, which is currently represented by GOP Rep. Rob Wittman.

“I will not challenge a Republican representative who is doing a good job representing the people of their district. I no longer live in the 7th Congressional District, which was represented by Democrat Abigail Spanberger,” Chase, who has previously described herself as “Trump in heels,” said in a statement.
