Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin says no to 2024 presidential bid

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin silenced speculation about a potential 2024 run for the presidency Monday, responding with a simple "no" when he was asked about returning to the campaign trail later this year.

The governor was participating in a talk at the Milken Institute with Wall Street Journal editor-at-large Gerard Baker, who asked Youngkin if he planned to dust off his signature fleece vest and launch a presidential campaign. 

"I'm going to be working in Virginia this year," Youngkin replied, citing the Virginia state House and Senate races coming this November. Republicans currently control the House of Delegates and would like to flip the state Senate, which is controlled by Democrats.
