Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares expressed his optimism about the upcoming Trump administration, stating that he expects to see more common sense approaches to governing. He highlighted the need to roll back regulations that have burdened Americans in recent years, such as the OSHA vaccine mandate and interpretations of Title IX.
With President-elect Donald Trump preparing to take office, Miyares is looking forward to the changes that will come with the new administration. He mentioned the potential Cabinet nominations and policy announcements that have already begun, including the nomination of Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz as the next attorney general.
While Miyares did not directly comment on Gaetz’s nomination, he emphasized the importance of working with the new administration and Senate to ensure effective leadership. He believes that the upcoming administration will bring a different approach than the previous left-wing ideologies pushed by the Biden administration.
Miyares recently made headlines for challenging a court ruling regarding voter roll maintenance in Virginia. Despite facing opposition and criticism from Democrats like former delegate Jay Jones and Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor, Miyares remains steadfast in his commitment to upholding the law and serving the people of Virginia.
Looking ahead to the future, Miyares is focused on his re-election in 2025 but has not yet announced formal plans. He remains dedicated to his role as Attorney General and is prepared to address any challenges that may arise, including potential conflicts over Cabinet nominations and policy decisions.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Miyares is determined to uphold the principles of justice and integrity in his work. He remains optimistic about the changes that will come with the new administration and is committed to working collaboratively to serve the best interests of the people of Virginia.
