This marks a \u200bshift in Youngkin and Trump\u2019s sporadic relationship, particularly following Youngkin&#8217;s surprising victory in the 2021 gubernatorial race, which Trump claimed credit for, despite the complexities in their\u2064 connection. This event \u2064underscores a significant push to turn Virginia Republican this coming November.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/glenn-youngkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Glenn Youngkin<\/a> (R-VA) is putting aside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hawley-blocks-two-gop-nominees-from-senate-confirmation-over-mcconnell-ties\/\" title=\"Hawley halts Senate confirmation of two GOP nominees due to their connections with McConnell\">long-standing differences<\/a> with former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> in a bid to flip Virginia red this November. <\/p>\n<p>The two are holding a rally Friday afternoon in Chesapeake, Virginia, as polls show the governor\u2019s onetime rival in a dead heat with President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>. <\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Glenn Youngkin speaks at the Road to Majority conference. (AP Photo\/Manuel Balce Ceneta)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The two Republicans\u2019 sporadic relationship is well documented. In 2021, Youngkin shocked the country when he won his bid for governor, flipping a governor\u2019s mansion in what was thought to be a Democratic stronghold. Trump took credit for the landmark win, saying in a post to social media, \u201cYoung Kin (now that\u2019s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn\u2019t it?) in Virginia couldn\u2019t have won without me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Youngkin appeared to take the former president\u2019s support more lightly. After clinching the governor\u2019s seat, Youngkin spent the next two years contemplating challenging Trump for the presidency while twice declining opportunities to appear at Trump rallies in his state. <\/p>\n<p>In March, Youngkin skipped a rally to attend a basketball game, citing a scheduling conflict. In October 2021, Youngkin gave the cold shoulder again, saying prior arrangements kept him from appearing at a Trump rally featuring then-chief Trump strategist Steve Bannon. <\/p>\n<p>With new polling indicating Trump is on the rise in Virginia, Youngkin seems to be hopping back on the Trump train. A Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3037104\/poll-virginia-voters-biden-weak-america-youngkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>poll of Virginia voters<\/a> found that in a two-way match between Biden and Trump, the two are tied, both grasping 48% of the vote. That\u2019s a steep drop for Biden, who won Virginia by 10 points in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Days after the poll was released, Youngkin told Fox News that voters \u201cwant Trump back in the White House because he built a strong America.\u201d Two days later, Youngkin and Trump met in a private meeting at the Trump National Golf Club in northern Virginia. With the Trump campaign releasing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">photo<\/a> of the two afterward, their meeting on June 12 appeared to go smoothly.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Donald Trump arrives at a campaign rally in Richmond, Virginia.
