Glenn Youngkin considers joining 2024 Presidential Race.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin Addresses Speculation on 2024 Presidential Run
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin recently discussed the ongoing speculation surrounding his potential entry into the 2024 Republican Party presidential primary race. While he did not completely rule out the possibility, he strongly indicated that his focus is currently on the upcoming Virginia elections.
The questions arose during an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, following reports that Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, had personally encouraged Youngkin to run.
“Governor, you’ve got filing deadlines coming up in terms of this upcoming election and you’ve said that the filing deadlines need to get through, you said any decision from your jumping in the 2024 race would come after that,” Bartiromo said. “Are you still considering jumping into the 2024 race?”
“Maria, I’ve said over and over again how humbling it is to even talk about my name in this context,” Youngkin responded. “But I am so focused on Virginia elections this year to make sure that we deliver, we’ve got a giant agenda. And therefore I’m campaigning across Virginia for our House and Senate delegates and senators. I’m not in Iowa, and I’m not in South Carolina and New Hampshire, we’re focusing on Virginia.”
Bartiromo pressed further, mentioning the upcoming filing deadlines in Nevada and South Carolina, as well as other states with deadlines in early November. She questioned whether Youngkin could complete his Virginia legislative duties and enter the race before these deadlines.
“Well, Maria, as I’ve said, there’s nothing more important than us holding our House and flipping our Senate in Virginia,” Youngkin emphasized. “That’s where my full attention is. And I’m not, I am not paying attention to the filing deadlines, etc. I’m paying attention to making sure we hold our House and flip our Senate. I think this is so important for Virginians, and for the nation to see that this can happen, that we can put to work conservative common sense policies, and we can win, and we can bring together a state that was truly blue. People thought it was purple, we can turn it red. This is so important for us to get right and that’s why my focus is clearly on Virginia.”
