The Hill reports:
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) on Sunday declined to indicate if he will mount a White House bid in 2024 as his national profile grows.
During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” co-anchor Jake Tapper asked Youngkin about his presidential aspirations after the two discussed his out-of-state appearances at campaign events in the days leading up to the midterm elections.
“I am so focused right now on being the best governor in Virginia that I can possibly be,” Youngkin said. “We’ve got a lot to do. There’s real challenges. We’ve made huge progress, real challenges.”

In the same interview this morning, Youngkin defended his upcoming campaign appearance in support of election-denying QAnon freak show Kari Lake.
Youngkin himself has said that the 2020 election was fair and that Biden was legitimately elected.
As you can see below, Youngkin this morning also defended Virginia’s latest attacks on transgender students.
“This is not controversial.”
