Mike Johnson supports Jen Kiggans in Virginia fundraising event

House Speaker Mike Johnson and several Republican representatives gathered in Virginia Beach to fundraise for Rep. Jen Kiggans. Johnson characterized the upcoming contest in Virginia’s 2nd District as a race that will “determine the fate of the country,” predicting a close election in 2026.

Kiggans, who is facing a rematch against former congresswoman Elaine Luria, emphasized the importance of reminding voters of her opponent's voting record and priorities. During the event, Kiggans and Johnson drew sharp contrasts between Republican policies and what they described as the far-left movement within the Democratic Party, specifically citing influence from the Democratic Socialists of America.
