Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin endorsed JD Vance, calling him a "great presidential nominee" for a potential 2028 run. Youngkin, who cannot seek a second term due to Virginia's law, is himself considered a potential future presidential candidate. Vance, who has not formally declared a campaign, is reportedly seen by insiders as a likely successor to Donald Trump's "MAGA" and "America First" agenda. Youngkin's endorsement signals early consolidation within the GOP around Vance.
