Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) made a fundraising trip to New York on Wednesday amid mixed signals about his presidential ambitions in the 2024 cycle.
While stoking renewed interest in Youngkin’s potential 2024 bid, the trip comes at an awkward time — just days after the governor’s chief political consultant, Jeff Roe of Axiom Strategies, seemed to discount his client’s chances on national TV.
“No one would describe Youngkin’s prospects as great, but it would have been useful to have him described as potentially good, at least,” said Stephen Farnsworth, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington. “If he had just said ‘at the moment’ in that quotation, he could have saved himself a lot of grief.”
“People familiar with [Youngkin’s] thinking” told the Times that he is less inclined to run because Trump is looking weaker than expected, probably leading to a more crowded field than the governor had anticipated., Roe insisted that no one should count his client out, describing Youngkin as “a unicorn in American politics” who “will make a lane for himself,” should he decide to run.
