Businessman, Outsider Glenn Youngkin Wins GOP Nomination for Virginia Governor’s Race

Ashley Oliver 10 May 2021

Glenn Youngkin, a former CEO of the Carlyle Group, secured the Republican nomination for this year’s Virginia governor’s race Monday night, beating out six other candidates in a ranked-choice voting process that required six rounds of ballot-counting.

Youngkin took the lead in earlier rounds, but because the ranked-choice method required a candidate to reach 50 percent of the vote, eliminating every candidate up until the final round — in which Youngkin faced off with runner-up Pete Snyder — was necessary before Youngkin was able to clinch a victory.

The Republican Party of Virginia’s (RPV) nominating process was unprecedented this year, occurring as an “unassembled” convention on Saturday at polling locations across the state to determine the Republican governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general nominees. The votes were weighted based on number of ballots cast at localities and how those localities voted in 2020. About 30,000 ballots were cast this year.

Youngkin, received 55 percent of the weighted vote to Snyder’s 45 percent, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, which updated data from the RPV into reader-friendly infographics throughout the tabulation process.

The former CEO said in a statement after his victory became clear that he was “prepared to lead, excited to serve and profoundly humbled by the trust the people” had placed in him. “Virginians have made it clear that they are ready for a political outsider with a proven business experience to bring real change in Richmond,” Youngkin wrote:

Where does he fit in the Conservative--RINO spectrum?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Youngkin's site needs a succinct issues stances page. This article about an interview is the closest I found to such a page, https://www.youngkinforgovernor.com/post/watch-glenn-youngkin-talks-with-tucker-carlson-about-whats-at-stake-in-virginia-under-democrat-control . He sounds pretty decent.
