Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin recently revealed that he has had discussions with President-elect Trump regarding a potential role in the upcoming administration. However, Youngkin emphasized that his primary commitment remains to serving the people of his home state.
During his campaign, Youngkin actively supported Trump whenever the former president visited Virginia. Despite the discussions with Trump, Youngkin made it clear that he intends to fulfill his duties as governor for the entirety of his term.
Youngkin stated, 'He [Trump] knows that I am committed and will continue to serve as governor through my full term. I’m only hired for one term, four years, and when I spoke to him about this, he was very supportive of me finishing the job that I am committed to, and I am committed.'
If Youngkin were to step down from his role as governor to join the administration, he would be the first governor in Virginia to do so since the 1800s.
