Instead, he will continue to focus on running his state. In a recent interview, Youngkin stated that he will be working to help Republican candidates win legislative elections in Virginia. The commonwealth currently has a Democrat-majority Senate and a Republican-majority House of Delegates. Youngkin said, &#8220;I want to hold our House, and I\u2019d like to flip our Senate. And I think we\u2019re doing a really good job in Virginia, and I think this is a chance to bring that to voters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Excitement in Virginia<\/h3>\n<p>Youngkin is excited that America seems to be paying attention to what&#8217;s going on in Virginia. He believes that they are demonstrating that they can do things differently and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/glenn-youngkin-says-hes-not-entering-presidential-race-this-year\/\" title=\"Youngkin: Not Running for President in 2021\">bring common sense solutions<\/a> to bear on some of these perennially challenging problems. And those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/glenn-youngkin-says-hes-not-entering-presidential-race-this-year-2\/\" title=\"Youngkin: Not Running for President in 2021.\">common sense solutions work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>2024 Presidential Ambitions<\/h3>\n<p>Youngkin didn&#8217;t explicitly deny whether he has 2024 presidential ambitions when asked. An aide to the governor clarified that Youngkin was answering questions only with 2023 in mind, leaving the door open for a possible announcement in 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>Overseas Tour<\/h3>\n<p>Youngkin recently embarked on an overseas tour that drew more speculation that he would jump into the 2024 presidential race. While another widely floated 2024 contender, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, Youngkin met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei. They both visited South Korea and Japan before returning home.<\/p>\n<h3>Trade Missions or Political Maneuvers?<\/h3>\n<p>Both leaders billed these trips as trade missions, although spectators see them as a move for prospective candidates seeking to boost their foreign affairs resumes at a time when the geopolitical threat from the Chinese Communist Party is drawing outsize attention in Washington, especially among Republican lawmakers aligned with former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Dominance in Polls<\/h3>\n<p>Trump, the dominant 2024 Republican primary candidate, has a list of successes to tout when it comes to dealing with China and the communist regime in North Korea. The former president has devoted much attention to attacking DeSantis as polls have shown the Florida governor as the most potent of the actual and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-refuses-to-say-whether-hell-back-manchin-sinema-over-potential-primary-challengers\/\" title=\"Schumer Refuses To Say Whether He\u2019ll Back Manchin, Sinema Over Potential Primary Challengers\">potential primary challengers<\/a>. As of May 2, Trump still dominates most polls, expanding his lead over DeSantis to about 40 points. A Wall Street Journal poll released on April 21 found Youngkin receiving only 1 percent or less support among potential 2024 primary voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia Gov.
