Hung Cao Could Be the Republican Who Retires Tim Kaine in 2024

Cao was a great candidate for the House, and he might be Republicans' best hope to flip a Senate seat and send Kaine out to pasture. As many learned during his 2022 campaign, a four-year-old Cao and his family fled to the United States as refugees from communism just before the fall of Saigon. He then went on to graduate from the Naval Academy and become a Navy Captain (now retired) working with Special Forces around the world. "The U.S. gave me a home, a flag to stand under, and an opportunity," Cao noted during his run. "I’ve been committed to returning the favor ever since."

His story — did we mention he and his wife homeschool their five children? — is one that clearly resonated in the 10th District in 2022 and would likely carry in a statewide race for U.S. Senate. Virginia as a whole is, after all, generally a handful of points more Republican than the 10th Congressional District.

After Cao won the GOP primary for the 2022 House race, even The Washington Post noted he had "a personal story that many voters said they found compelling as he maximized outreach in minority communities and hit on some of the same themes — such as fighting 'indoctrination' in education — that carried Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) to victory."

You must be joking. Younkin will be in his 3rd year+term limited. Good Lt. Gov. waiting in the wings. Our top-tier candidate needs to run. Otherwise dream on.

I’m NOT joking ... I never mentioned a candidate, I just said:

“It sure would be nice not to have two DemonRat Senators .... they’re both awful.”

You disagree??

Being in NevaDUH, I totally understand the awfulness of having two dem(onic) senatorettes.

I researched him a bit during the last cycle. Highly impressive.

He’s a great guy, but was soundly defeated in his congressional run. I don’t see him running for or winning a senate seat.

There was a Chinese restaurant in Portland for decades called Hung Far Low. I think I still have one of their matchbooks in a box of junk somewhere.

I once had dinner at a joint called Pho King.

It was good. Pho King good.

Hung Cow??

I think a name change might help in the PR department.
