Virginia Gov. Youngkin is pulling in big money ahead of a push to win full control of the state's legislature — and amid continuing presidential buzz.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin speaks at the grand opening ceremony for Amazon HQ2 on June 15, 2023 in Arlington.Billionaire Republican megadonor Thomas Peterffy wired $1 million to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s “Spirit of Virginia” PAC Thursday, his second million-dollar donation to the PAC supporting the governor's political goals.
Virginia state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, who has served in the General Assembly for 17 years, told NBC News that state Republicans haven’t always had strong fundraising numbers from outside Virginia — but with Youngkin, he says it’s different. Donations like Peterffy’s continue to spur speculation about Youngkin’s ambitions for higher office. The term-limited Virginia governor has not closed the door on a potential run for president in 2024, NBC News has learned, with donors and close advisors encouraging him to keep an open mind.
