Virginia Democrat Candidate Who Lost Following Sex Tape Scandal Claims 'Voters Didn't Care'

Virginia Democrat Susanna Gibson, whose campaign was catapulted into the spotlight following the release of sexually explicit videos, said her narrow loss in a Virginia state Senate race was because "voters didn't care" about the scandal. Gibson, who lost to Republican David Owen in the 57th District in the November legislative election, said "very few people actually seemed to care" about the leaked videos. Initial reports stated that she performed sex acts for money but Gibson has pushed back against the claims, stating that she was unaware she was being recorded or that the videos would be disseminated. When asked in an interview with Politico what she drew from the fact that the race was close — she lost by less than 1,000 votes — Gibson said, "That voters didn't care."
