Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia had made clear his Election Day expectations
Gov. Glenn Youngkin cast Virginia's legislative races in monumental terms when he campaigned with a Republican candidate in one of the most competitive districts a few days before the election. The first-term governor with growing national recognition told a cheering crowd at a historic waterside venue that voters could help build on the “movement” he started with his own victory in 2021 by handing the party full control of the statehouse and keeping the “spirit of Virginia” alive.
Speculation about a run began as soon as Youngkin defeated former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Youngkin's ability to connect with voters was on display at rallies before this year's election. They almost always featured a long line of supporters lingering to greet him. Even Scott acknowledged that “voters still like Gov. Youngkin.' 'I think they still want Gov. Youngkin to succeed. But the voters wanted to make sure that he had a check on his worst impulses,' Scott said.
