Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will take part in a CNN town hall next week amid speculation that he is considering seeking the GOP nomination for president in 2024.
Youngkin will meet with host Jake Tapper on March 9 at 9 p.m. Eastern time to discuss education, a topic that the Virginia chief executive leaned into during his 2021 campaign — and during his time as governor.
“During the Town Hall, Governor Youngkin will take questions from a live studio audience, and we will hear directly from parents, teachers, students and stakeholders about education and the issues that matter the most to families in Virginia and across the nation,” a CNN release said.
Youngkin, who formerly served as the co-CEO of the private equity firm the Carlyle Group, ran for governor on a platform emphasizing parents’ role in students’ education and railing against diversity initiatives that he has called an effort at “political indoctrination” from the left.
One of his first actions as governor was an executive order to ban public schools from teaching critical race theory, which examines how race has played a role in U.S. laws and institutions and is mostly taught at institutions of higher education.
Youngkin also asked his education secretary last month to look into the Advanced Placement African American studies course that has become the subject of controversy after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) administration rejected its use in schools.
Youngkin has been included in some hypothetical 2024 GOP primary polls. He told NBC News in an interview in January that he was “humbled” by discussion about his potential candidacy, but he did not commit to whether he would run.

Youngkin would be better off going on some YouTube channels that get higher ratings than CNN. Don’t give that anti-US, fear and war-mongering channel the numbers.
He’d make a good VP
Youngkin was encouraging his employees to support the SPLC as late as 2020.
Another raging moderate globalist.
SPLC ?
Southern Poverty Law Center?
Nah, I disagree. The video footage of his owning those lib pukes will be priceless.
And you heard this… where?
The only entries re “Youngkin” and “SPLC” show them deeply at odds with nine another. I look forward to seeing the proof of your statement.
*one another
Holding an event with CNN? I didn’t know he was trying to get into the witness protection program. Going on CNN is a perfect way to have no one know where you are at that moment.
Really? Then why do you post FoxNews?
Ohhhh, wait, now I see why -- you prefer C--tNN. Got it.
“Going on CNN is a perfect way to have no one know where you are at that moment.”
Then it’s a low-risk venture. Sounds like a win-win.
Exactly. Youngkin’s was one of the most well-run campaigns ever.
Oh gosh, really, genius Ronlim? LOFL.
DeSantis himself quoted the New York Times agitpropagandist "1619 Project" -- released in 2019 -- as the modus behind his "Stop Woke Act" -- giving DeSantis had 3 1/2 years to pass the "Stop WOKE Act".DeSantis' messaging around the "Stop WOKE Act" specifically names removing and banning the socialist tenets of the "1619 Project" from Florida schools. Not something that was about to happen, but removing the CRT already in the Florida schools, as driven by the "1619 Project". The "1619 Project" was released by the New York Times in 2019!
AGAIN, DeSantis had 3 1/2 years to pass "Stop WOKE Act", and Youngkin did it in his FIRST WEEK.
Lotsa ankle biting egomaniacs on that list.
I hope you’re right but I don’t think he’ll do that.
I was talking about their polls dipstick.
