Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock of Virginia urges Trump to drop out of race

Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) on Friday night called for Donald Trump to drop out of the presidential race, breaking her campaign-long silence on the Republican presidential nominee.

Her comments came following the disclosure of a 2005 video of Trump making lewd comments and bragging about groping women.

Comstock, who faces a competitive reelection challenge in her northern Virginia district, said the Republican Party should nominate Trump’s runningmate, Mike Pence, in his place or choose another candidate.
