Who is Glenn Youngkin, the Republican who will be the next governor of Virginia?

Republican Glenn Youngkin has upset the political landscape in Virginia, a state President Biden won by 10 points only a year ago. CBS News projects Youngkin will win the race against Democrat Terry McAuliffe. 

Until recently, most Americans — and most Virginians — had never heard of him. So who is Youngkin?

The 54-year-old spent the bulk of his career at the Washington-based Carlyle Group investment firm, working his way until he retired as co-CEO in late 2020, shortly before announcing his bid for governor. Youngkin's wealth from his time at the Carlyle Group is no secret. He donated $20 million to his own gubernatorial campaign.
