Glenn Youngkin Mulling a 2024 Presidential Run, Met With Megadonors

By Levon Satamian
Jul 03, 2022

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin met privately with GOP megadonors, hinting at a White House bid.

Youngkin, who won the gubernatorial race in the state of Virginia in 2021, is considering a run for president. Youngkin won in a purple state, where 54.1 percent of the electorate voted for Biden in 2020.

Similar to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Youngkin wanted to empower the parents, not the teachers union. He wanted parents to decide whether their child should get the vaccine or not — without the child being prevented from going to school depending on vaccine status.

When Youngkin became governor, he spoke about Virginians and the needs of the people of Virginia. Recently, he has been speaking about the needs of Americans. When Youngkin was asked about a White House bid, his response was that he was focused on being the governor of Virginia. Now, he’s saying he is “humbled” that many people “request” that he run for president.

I really haven’t been paying that much attention to this governor but for those here who reside in Virginia, what is their opinion of him so far?

For what it's worth:

The one troubling issue is he gave no opinion on 'pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens".

I think it is way to early for any candidate to announce until we see what the outcome of the mid terms looks like.

To early to tell as he still has a socialist state legislature so his hands are sorta tied but I really don't see much in the way of moving the state back to center right.  Youngkin strikes me the way Cucinelli always did, after the low hanging fruit and cameras, very risk averse.
I am very impressed with the LT Gov and AG tho..
