Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is set to make a campaign stop next month in Nevada, his first appearance in early 2024 nominating state and part of a broader midterm push that’s coming amid speculation he’s weighing a presidential bid
Glenn Youngkin, a Republican who took office this year after winning a November 2021 election, is slated to campaign and fundraise for Nevada gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo on Sept. 15, according to campaign plans shared first with POLITICO. | Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images.
Other states Youngkin is expected to visit includes New Mexico, Oregon, and Kansas — all states where Republican challengers are looking to knock off incumbent Democrats. The party is particularly focused on Nevada, where Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff, is looking to unseat Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak.
The 55-year-old governor rose to national prominence last year, when he scored an upset win in a state that has become reliably Democratic. Youngkin, a former private equity executive, made inroads in suburban areas that have drifted away from Republicans nationally by focusing on issues including Covid restrictions and public education, and his win immediately set off speculation he would join the ranks of possible 2024 contenders.
“My focus is on 2022,” Youngkin told WJLA, the Washington, D.C.-area ABC affiliate. “Twenty-twenty-four is a long way off…We’ve got a giant agenda the rest of this year and into next year, and 2024 will happen when 2024 gets here.”
