Youngkin points to gubernatorial win as road map for GOP midterm success

Published October 18, 2022 12:00am ET



Nearly a year after Gov. Glenn Youngkin‘s (R) upset victory in Virginia, he says the same issues that got him to the governor’s mansion will propel Republicans into office across the nation.

Following a rally for Republican Yesli Vega in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, Youngkin told the Washington Examiner that Republicans’ focus on “commonsense” and “kitchen table” issues from school choice to inflation will be a winning formula on Nov. 8. Youngkin won the 2021 governor’s race in a state President Joe Biden carried the year before by 10 points by focusing on education and other issues that resonated with independent voters.
