Amanda Chase, who lost her bid for the Virginia Republican gubernatorial nomination, said Tuesday she won t run as an independent.
An independent bid by Chase, a state senator and vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, would have potentially siphoned off votes from the Republican gubernatorial nominee, Glenn Youngkin, to whom she lost last week after ballots were counted from the party s unassembled convention. Chase had pledged to run as an independent if rival Pete Snyder, a wealthy entrepreneur, won the GOP nod for governor.
Chase placed a third in a field of seven, when 54,000 registered Republican delegates cast their ballots on May 8 through a ranked-choice voting system.
