Youngkin a great for Virginia but he has zero chance on a national race. Maybe less than zero. No TV personality and no real chance to differentiate due to the left leaning state. He simply does not have the opportunity to advance significant change. Like the guy a lot.

The governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia serves as the head of government of Virginia for a four-year term. The incumbent, Glenn Youngkin, was sworn in on January 15, 2022.

Virginia governors are not allowed to serve consecutive terms. They have been barred from immediate re-election since the adoption of Virginia’s second constitution, in 1830. However, a former governor is permitted to run for a second term in a future election.

Only two governors since 1830, William Smith and Mills Godwin, were elected to additional terms. Smith’s second term came after Virginia seceded from the Union, while Godwin became the first ever governor in American history to be elected by both major parties when the former Democrat was elected in 1973 as a Republican.

The only other governors to serve non-consecutive stints in office were Patrick Henry and James Monroe, with George William Smith serving twice as acting governor before becoming official governor.
