Is Youngkin's handling of Trump in Virginia victory a guide for the GOP going forward?
Fox News
Youngkin was repeatedly endorsed by Donald Trump but didn't campaign with the former president during his successful run for Virginia governor
Trump parachuted into the race at the last minute, holding a brief tele-rally on behalf of Youngkin, a first-time candidate and a former private equity CEO who hails from the Republican Party's business wing. And in the final stretch before Tuesday’s election, the former president’s political team tells Fox News they sent out more than a quarter of a million texts to Trump supporters in the commonwealth, urging them to vote for Youngkin.
Trump endorsed Youngkin in May, which helped the candidate win a contested nomination race decided in a state convention-style election among activists rather than a wider primary of Republican voters. And during the course of the entire race, Trump sent out nine endorsements of Youngkin.
