Youngkin says he’s ‘impressed by the tal­ent’ among GOP pres­i­den­tial can­di­dates

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R‑VA) once again deflect­ed spec­u­la­tion that he’ll be a 2024 pres­i­den­tial can­di­date for the Repub­li­cans, say­ing he’s “impressed by the tal­ent” among the GOP con­tenders and brought the focus back to leg­isla­tive work in Vir­ginia.
Youngkin boost­ed the Repub­li­cans vying to take on Pres­i­dent Joe Biden in Novem­ber 2024, empha­siz­ing the wide-rang­ing back­grounds from the crowd­ed field.

“I’m impressed by the tal­ent on the stage,” Youngkin said on Fox and Friends on Mon­day. “We’ve got extra­or­di­nary gov­er­nors. We’ve got folks that have led the nation in var­i­ous ways — in for­eign pol­i­cy, that’s crit­i­cal, and we have a for­mer pres­i­dent.”
Youngkin said the Repub­li­can Par­ty has “great tal­ent,” adding a GOP can­di­date has to win to replace Biden, and the gov­er­nor list­ed off a num­ber of poli­cies and actions he believes make up a failed pres­i­den­cy.
“I mean, the future of the nation is at stake,” Youngkin said. “We’ve watched what Joe Biden has done to the nation over the last few years. Our for­eign pol­i­cy is a dis­as­ter as we have an open bor­der that is allow­ing our for­eign ene­mies to come across uncon­strained. We’ve been weak with Rus­sia. We’ve been weak with Chi­na. We’ve watched our econ­o­my fall apart.”
