Bolstered by big election night wins, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is already mapping a national 2024 battle plan to knock out liberal prosecutors funded by billionaire liberal George Soros and replace them with law-and-order candidates.
Savoring victories in Virginia and Pennsylvania that came on the heels of even more successes in the 2022 elections, Miyares said he’s ready to oversee a national effort to push out liberal prosecutors ignoring the wave of violent crime sweeping America.
THREE TAKEAWAYS FROM A ROUGH 2023 ELECTION FOR THE GOP
“We had some good results,” Miyares told Secrets, pointing to victories in Virginia’s Loudoun and Smythe counties and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
“What we do is we’re very targeted,” he said of his efforts and that of the group Protecting Americans Project Action Fund that he heads.
“We have a big board. We try to really see who are the incumbent left-wing prosecutors that are in a position that we could take out, where are the open seats that we think they’re going to target, and who are people also that need help that we can come alongside and assist them. So, 2024 is going to be a big year,” Miyares said.
In the interview, Miyares challenged Soros to debate prosecutorial policies and their dueling agendas. “I would love to debate [Soros] in an urban setting or in an environment that’s been particularly hit hard by the prosecutors, and let’s debate. Let’s have this discussion. Let’s talk about whose policies are absolutely hurting communities,” Miyares said.

He and his group played a big part in the surprise defeat of liberal Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj by former Loudoun prosecutor Bob Anderson. Biberaj hasn’t conceded, but Anderson said there is no path to her winning. She trails Anderson by over 1,000 votes with all districts counted.
Miyares said his group targeted about 75,000 voters concerned about crime in Loudoun and highlighted cases that Biberaj had bungled, crimes she wouldn’t prosecute, and defendants released.
“So many people, from a quality of life standpoint, were tired of the negative headlines. They were tired of hearing stories from the victims on the nightly news feeling like their local prosecutor had failed them. And so we’re thrilled to be involved in it,” he said.
