Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, widely viewed as a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, on Monday ruled out launching a bid for the White House this year.
“Virginians made a different choice,” he told about 360 people who paid $65 to hear him speak, saying that voters chose to back parents’ rights, education standards, law enforcement and business deregulation. “Conservative policies win because they are grounded in timeless truths, and in common sense. And more importantly, common-sense policies work. Virginia is the test case, proof positive — a state that can lurch left and was falling behind, made a choice and is now winning.
