Political insiders say Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's bipartisan appeal could be trouble for President Biden if he's selected as former President Trump's running mate.
Editor's note: This is the seventh in a series of profiles of potential running mates for presidential candidate Donald Trump on the 2024 Republican Party ticket. A potential name on former President Trump's running mate shortlist is being lauded for his 'massive' bipartisan appeal by political insiders who say his possible selection could spell trouble for President Biden in key swing states this November.
In doing so, he’s earned a reputation for strong leadership and making government work for the people,' Rove said, praising his so far 'successful' tenure leading a Democrat-leaning state while 'pursuing an ambitious agenda of education reform, parental rights, economic growth and job creation.
Donors appreciate Youngkin’s brand of Republican politics, which balances conservative values with pragmatic governance and could help with bringing in more dollars to the campaign,' Perrine said, adding that another of his 'major advantages' was the 'ease of his relationship with Trump' while other potential running mates 'fight so hard to get in front of Trump and have him like them.' 'Couple that with the potential to flip Virginia electorally.
While he was a very successful business person before his only campaign, which would seem to mesh with Donald Trump’s background, he may be much more well suited for a cabinet position in the Trump administration or as the frontrunner in 2028 if Trump loses in 2024 again,' Walling said. 'Youngkin is worrisome as a nominee in 2028, and would be a worrisome vice presidential pick in 2024. But I think there’s zero chance he’s the party’s nominee for vice president this cycle.
The governor spoke just ahead of Trump at Saturday's Faith & Freedom Coalition's annual Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C., issuing a call to action to get the former president back into the White House, as well as for strengthened Republican majorities in Congress.
