Trump Virginia Co-Chair John Fredericks has previously called on the GOP field to debate

VIRGINIA – During an interview with former Trump Co-Chair John Fredericks, Amanda Chase eagerly agreed to debate Winsome Earle-Sears after Fredericks again requested the GOP primary field debate. Fredericks previously said “[Sears] should debate them” in an interview on Fox 5. While Chase agreed to the debate without hesitation, Sears has spent the past few weeks dodging questions about why she’s defending Trump’s attacks on Virginia jobs and the state of her flailing campaign.  

Chase also mentioned her phone “blowing up” with Virginians asking her to run.

Amanda Chase: I'm giving them a choice. Now, the reason I entered this race at the ninth hour because, like I said, I was not planning on running. My phone kept blowing up. 
 
Fredericks: I am going to advocate that you have a debate with Winsome
 
Chase: Absolutely.
 
Fredericks: She [Sears] owes the people that.
