Having missed candidate-filing deadlines in key early states, Youngkin could try to make a big splash in the March 5 Super Tuesday primaries. But it would take a mad dash.
RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has kept everyone guessing about his White House ambitions for nearly two buzz-filled years, so long that the 2024 speculation has shifted from will he or won’t he tocould try to make a big splash in the March 5 Super Tuesday primaries.
Before December is up, deadlines will come and go in 17 other states stretching from Vermont to Hawaii. would undermine Youngkin’s oft-repeated claim that he will not give a thought to the presidency before the General Assembly elections.“Governor Youngkin is spending every waking moment making the case for our Virginia candidates — telling voters why they should send him a team in Richmond to keep moving Virginia forward,” Dave Rexrode, chairman of the PAC, wrote in an email to The Washington Post.
In some states, only registered Republicans may sign petitions for the party’s primaries, with a certain portion required to hail from each congressional district. Some states make it fairly simple, including Alabama. All that’s needed there is a $20,000 filing fee and a few hundred signatures . “Pretty much just, ‘Here’s my money,’ and you’re good to go,” said Tyler Burns, political director of the Tennessee Republican Party.
“From a purely mathematical perspective, if Youngkin was able to gain ballot access to the Super Tuesday states and beyond, it could be done,” said Allan Keiter, founder of the nonpartisan elections website 270toWin. “More than 90 percent of the estimated delegates don’t get allocated until Super Tuesday or later.”
