“Days after withholding his financial backing for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, billionaire GOP donor Thomas Peterffy is opening his wallet for Glenn Youngkin, the Virginia governor some in the party still hope will run for president,” Politico reports.

“Peterffy on Thursday wired a $1 million check to Youngkin’s political action committee… The move comes less than a week after Peterffy told the Financial Times that he had put his support for DeSantis ‘on hold’ because of the governor’s controversial positions on abortion and book bans, which have alienated some of those in the donor community and the mainstream wing of the party.”

1. There is no "mainstream wing" of the party. Youngkin is as bad as DeSantis, just not as overtly

sinister.

2. Didn't he invent the parents' rights 'movement' when he ran and won?

3. Yes. I think he initially called it "Parents matter".
