Glenn Allen Youngkin (born December 9, 1966) is the current Republican Governor of Virginia. He narrowly defeated the Democrat former-Governor Terry McAuliffe in the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election, a victory widely considered a rejection of the left-wing, Establishmentarian presidency of Joe Biden, and his campaign received President Donald Trump's endorsement. Youngkin took office in January 2022, succeeding disgraced term-limited Democrat Governor Ralph Northam. Before running for Governor in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Youngkin was a businessman for 25 years, becoming co-CEO of the Carlyle Group, a company hosting financial and asset management services connected to the World Economic Forum.

Campaign For Governor[edit]

Before education and critical race theory became the hot-button issue, Youngkin ran a moderate campaign,^[1] airing an advertisement seeming to imply that white supremacists were responsible for rising crime^[2] and refraining from a strong condemnation of abortion during a debate.^[3][4] Youngkin also supported the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue from a public park.^[5]

Youngkin won with 50.7% of the popular vote. Even far-left-biased newspaper The Guardian admitted that the victory constitutes "a blow" to Joe Biden, who campaigned with McAuliffe before going to a climate change conference to which Russia and China did not send delegates.^[6]

Many conservatives became disillusioned with Youngkin before his term had even started. Shortly after winning, he announced that he would not interfere with local mask and vaccine mandates.^[7] Not long after, he hired Joshua Marin-Mora, a skirt-wearing LGBT activist, to his communications staff. Marin-Mora opposes fossil fuels and has backed Green New Deal proposals, as well as the teaching of Critical Race Theory in public school.^[8]
