Youngkin prepares to wade into national politics
Virginia's Republican governor will use new political groups as a vehicle to get involved in other state races in 2022.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is preparing to take a step into national politics by launching a pair of new political groups ahead of the midterm election.
Youngkin’s new operation will allow him to wade into gubernatorial races across the country on behalf of GOP candidates. Youngkin can also use the apparatus to target a pair of Democratic House members in Virginia whom Republicans are looking to unseat.

The Republican Party might seem to have a dichotomy on their hands!
Two rising stars, in DeSantis & Youngkin, each of very different cloth. One is an affirmed hard-core Trump ideologist, the other is a moderate who ran a campaign with some distance from Trump.
Which ideology will prevail in the future of the Republican Party? That's quite a question! I'd argue that for the immediate election, the Party needs both ideologies, tailored for the individual electorates across the country. After all, VA is not AL!
But in the long run over the years, nationally, I believe the Party is best served by a Youngkin type candidate.
