I recognize the name,and that's it. Why do you think he would make a good VP?
I don't. I just think that is his goal. He would like to be on the ticket and therefore be the heir apparent f Trump wins. If Trump does not win, then he will have had some experience running a national campaign, and a rolodex he can go back to in 2028.
Right now, in addition to running against Trump, DeSantis is building a strong rolodex of his own, so anyone ambitious will see that as difficult to overcome, even if DeSantis is unsuccessful.
Basically, all politicians are self-employed. Youngkin is just thinking about his future here. It just makes sense for him to get some experience on the national stage.
BTW, Democrat politicians think the same way, but they are too afraid of Biden to challenge him. The fact that Republicans do not fear Trump is telling.
I also think that the backup plan for the anti-Trump wing of the GOP is to flood the market with candidates just in case the DeSantis effort fails. Then you get a brokered convention, and Trump might be defeated that way. It did not work in 2016 and probably will not work this year, either, but it must be tried, especially with DeSantis not catching fire yet.
