Is this popular Republican governor entering the 2024 Republican presidential primary?
Not today.
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal's Gerard Baker at the Milken Institute in Los Angeles, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) offered a simple โnoโ when asked about running for president.
โI'm going to be working in Virginia this year,โ Youngkin added.
Is the governor leaving open the possibility of launching a bid in 2024? Only time will tell.
Instead, Youngkin said he was concentrating on the legislative elections in Virginia.
โI want to hold our House, and I'd like to flip our Senate. And I think we're doing a really good job in Virginia, and I think this is a chance to bring that to voters,โ he told Baker, adding that he looked forward to helping those legislators in bringing โcommon-sense solutions to bearโ on difficult problems.
The Old Dominion governor has been floated as a potential White House contender by numerous pundits and hypothetical polls.
Donald Trump was the first Republican to throw his hat into the ring. Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley each jumped into the race in February. Former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson also announced his candidacy for the 2024 nomination last month. Most recently, conservative talk show host Larry Elder joined the contest.

These reporters throw out these lies about who’s running for president! They like making a mess of the American voting! To bad they don’t ask screwup Joe Biden why is destroying America and his butt kissing China butt. Cowards all of them. Not reporters just slave monkeys for the democrat communist party.
