Glenn Youngkin wins Virginia GOP gubernatorial nomination
Fox News
Glenn Youngkin, a former CEO at the Carlyle Group, the private equity firm, won the GOP nomination for governor in Virginia on Monday in what will be a closely watched election since only two states are headed to the polls in 2021 to choose their governors.
"Virginians have made it clear that they are ready for a political outsider with proven business experience to bring real change in Richmond," he tweeted. Youngkin, 54, campaigned as a conservative and defeated a field of seven candidates. Pete Snyder, one of his top rivals, conceded, "I send my heartfelt congratulations. He + the ticket have my 100% support." The state party’s website showed Youngkin with around 55% of the vote as final ballots were being tallied late Monday night. More than 30,000 delegates cast ballots Saturday at what the Republican Party of Virginia is calling an "unassembled convention" to choose their nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.More Related News
