VP Youngkin? I don’t think so. MAGA voters just put an end to one Establishment pretender. Why would they support another?
Trump was firmly tied into Youngkin's campaign. Trump's role was to bait Fast Terry from Day One, into the dead-end of making Trump the focus of his campaign.
Terry's people took the bait, even though their own internal polling didn't show tying Trump to Youngkin was a slam-dunk. This was political rope-a-dope at its finest, and it's a blueprint for what can be done in 2024 with VP Youngkin on the Trump ticket.
Trump says he and Glenn Youngkin are not 'at odds' despite what 'the perverts' say"Former President Donald Trump weighed in on Virginia's gubernatorial election one day out by responding to "the perverts" who say he and Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin don't "like each other."
Trump in a statement on Monday said he and Republican gubernatorial candidate Youngkin "get along very well together and strongly believe in many of the same policies," and he blamed the media and "some of the perverts" for trying to "create an impression that" they "are at odds and don't like each other." Trump also claimed "perverts" are trying to "convince people that we do not like each other" so that his base won't vote in the election.
Youngkin has said, though, that he's "honored" to have received the former president's endorsement. During a recent rally in support of Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe, President Biden described Youngkin as an "acolyte of Donald Trump."
