Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is speaking Wednesday at a GOP donor retreat held by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says donors at Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's 'Red Vest Retreat' in Virginia Beach have been speculating about whether Youngkin will step off the sidelines and into the 2024 presidential race. 'It's fair to say there are absolutely people here who think he would make a great president,' Pompeo said in an exclusive interview with CBS News.
Youngkin hopes to flip the state Senate to Republican control and hold the House of Delegates. Pompeo says Youngkin asked him to speak at the event and considers him a friend. He said he has not contributed to Youngkin's fundraising efforts but is considering it. 'I haven't contributed, but I should. Maybe that's what I'll do. Maybe I'll blow my checkbook out here today. The Pompeos are definitely all in for Governor Youngkin,' Pompeo said.
