Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli on Saturday formally accepted the Republican Party’s nomination in the Commonwealth’s gubernatorial race this year, the Virginian-Pilot reported.
With Cuccinelli unopposed, the vote at the GOP’s state convention in Richmond, Va. was nothing more than a formality. In his acceptance speech at the convention, the Republican took aim at his presumptive Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe.
Cuccinelli challenged the former Democratic National Committee chair to debates “in every corner of the state,” according to the Virginian-Pilot.
