I think Youngkin is still considered the Republican frontrunner for 2028 (although I’d love to be proven wrong). Youngkin won Virginia based on a series of lies. He promised to eliminate the teaching of ‘Critical Race Theory’ - which has never been taught in Virginia or pretty much anywhere else. And shortly before the election, there was a sexual assault at a local high school in the girl’s bathroom by someone pretending to be transgendered (to the best of my recollection). Youngkin preyed on parent’s fears to win - a popular Republican tactic. Last I knew, Republicans hope to spread Youngkin’s ‘magic’ to the rest of the country. Hopefully, he’ll go the way of Ron DeSantis.
