The Republican governor also plans to headline a Nebraska GOP event, and has begun speaking more often about the needs of “Americans,” not just “Virginians.'
The day-long visit, which was not listed on Youngkin’s public calendar and included a trio of national TV interviews, comes as the new governor prepares to headline his first out-of-state political event since taking office, with an appearance next week in Nebraska. He also has begun speaking more often about the needs of “Americans,” not just “Virginians,” and has subtly changed how he answers questions about whether he will seek the White House.
Presidential buzz revved up around Youngkin even before he assumed the governorship — his first public office — not quite six months ago.
While Virginia governors routinely set up PACs to help bankroll in-state races, and some have traveled out of state to raise money, Youngkin’s entities stand apart with their national objectives — feeding speculation about his own aspirations.During a Richmond political roast in May, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Barry Knight joked that he was keeping Youngkin in the loop on budget negotiations — but had to go to Iowa and New Hampshire to catch up with him.
The nearly seven-minute interview, led by host Gayle King, had Youngkin reprising his balancing act, as when he was asked, the landmark decision that legalized abortion nationwide. In the interview, which came the day before the court issued its ruling overturning, Youngkin said he’d respect the right to protest but also enforce any law needed to “keep Virginians safe,” including the three Supreme Court justices who live in the state.
