Now that Trump is the only candidate left in the GOP nomination, Republicans are calling for unity. Top leaders are urging donors and other figures to rally behind the Trump campaign.
Many forces are arrayed against the former president returning to the White House. It will likely require every member of the GOP to leverage their influence to win in November.
Some key Republican politicians have come out recently to back Trump’s presidential bid. That even includes former rivals who dropped out of the race. But one figure just came out with a statement that could stun millions. Because he isn’t known as a big Trump booster.
From The Post Millennial:
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin endorsed former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election on Wednesday evening. Trump thanked the governor for his support and said he would be looking forward to winning the state in the 2024 race.In the post, Youngkin wrote, “It’s time to unite around strong leadership and policies that grow our great nation, not four more years of President Biden.”

Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an endorsement for Donald Trump. In his statement, he called for voters to reject the current administration. He warned that the country cannot afford “four more years of President Biden.”
Youngkin is a respected Republican leader and a strong opponent of Biden. But he is not known as a big Trump ally. That is likely because he is leading a mostly blue state. His victory in becoming Virginia’s governor was a massive upset.
And he is fighting to maintain control over the state with a large liberal and center base. He has kept his distance from Trump, fearing that even Republicans in Virginia do not like the former president.
That could be why his statement called out Biden’s failures and called for “strong leadership.”
Trump won Virginia in a decisive Super Tuesday victory. He garnered 63% of the vote over Haley’s 35%. That was probably enough to convince Gov. Youngkin to back the Trump campaign.
Key Takeaways:
- Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
- The Republican leader warned America cannot afford “four more years” of the Biden administration.
- Youngkin has, in the past, distanced himself from Trump, as Virginia is a blue state.
