The campaign for Virginia’s Republican nominee for lieutenant governor is pushing back amid a firestorm of controversy and Republican infighting in Virginia, which has pitted the nominee against Governor Glenn Youngkin.

In two videos he posted online, John Reid went public with details of what he called Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s efforts to get him to leave the lieutenant governor's race.

Virginia lieutenant governor candidate John Reid is accusing Gov. Youngkin and his team of extortion. Reid alleges Youngkin called him and asked him to leave the race over pictures posted online which he says are not his.
