“I’m impressed by the talent on the stage,” Youngkin said on Fox and Friends on Monday. “We’ve got extraordinary governors. We’ve got folks that have led the nation in various ways — in foreign policy, that’s critical, and we have a former president.”
Youngkin emphasizes the Republican Party’s “great talent,” emphasizing the need for a GOP candidate to win and replace Biden. He lists a number of policies and actions he believes contribute to a failed presidency.
“I mean, the future of the nation is at stake,” Youngkin said. “We’ve watched what Joe Biden has done to the nation over the last few years. Our foreign policy is a disaster as we have an open border that is allowing our foreign enemies to come across unconstrained. We’ve been weak with Russia. We’ve been weak with China. We’ve watched our economy fall apart.”
