Published July 22, 2024 2:34pm ET



Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) is not backing down from claims that Virginia is in play for former President Donald Trump, even after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.

Youngkin, speaking with Bloomberg on Monday, said that voters would hold Harris accountable for the record of the Biden administration and that Virginia is “still in play” for Republicans.
