I like Youngkin but he couldn’t flip congressional seats in ‘22 and state seats in ‘23. Fairfax and Loudoun aren’t flipping anytime soon. I like JD with the hope of flipping the senate seat but DeWine would probably appoint a Rhino in his spot
2023 was very disappointing but I don’t hold a Governor responsible for individual district-level outcomes, though the liberal media has tried to blame Youngkin for such things, like the loss of a state Senate seat last year.
BTW, the GOP did pick up a seat in 2022 (2nd district). Yes, they could have won CD-7 perhaps, but anyone expecting Republicans to win in CD-10 was cuckoo. None of that has anything to do with the Governor.
If Youngkin is on a statewide ticket with Trump, THEN he would be expected to make a difference. It may not work out, but IMO it’s worth a shot.
