.GlennYoungkin has become a rising star in the Republican Party, Over the last few weeks, he's been making TV appearances, participating in live town halls, and meeting with donors, fueling rumors that he may be ready to enter a bid for the White House.
If he entered the 2024 presidential race, the Virginia governor could make his own lane as a conservative who can appeal to voters, potentially setting him up for a fiery race between other GOP candidates such as former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis , who is expected to throw his hat in the ring.
“We’re driving our economic development,” Youngkin said in a CNBC interview last week via the Hill. “We’re driving education to a new place and raising the ceiling and the floor. We’re making sure that law enforcement is supported, not demeaned. And we’re doing it in a successful way in a state that truly is purple.”
"I do think the reason why people are asking this question of me is because the issues that I’m dealing with in Virginia are the same issues that the nation is dealing with. And we’re winning,” the governor said. “This session just ended Feb. 22, so if you look back at last year he kind of did a similar thing where when the session is over, he’s able to go and fundraise,” a close Youngkin ally said to the Hill . “There are elections in Virginia this year that I anticipate the governor will be very active into help win the state Senate.”
