Youngkin emphasized the importance of defending American exceptionalism and stated that the country must prove itself worthy of the sacrifices made to build it. He also stressed the need to address division by standing up for beliefs with dignity and strength. Youngkin is expected to speak at the Republican National Convention, where Trump is likely to be nominated as the party&#8217;s presidential candidate.
