There is reason to believe that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin might just be the smart post-Trump leader for Republicans, writes mattklewis
If Trump were not lingering in the field, it’s very likely that Youngkin and DeSantis might represent the two viable directions for the GOP.: “Hand Glenn Youngkin a baby and he’ll kiss it; hand Ron DeSantis a baby, and he’ll punch it.”
Both Youngkin and DeSantis also benefited from their national brands developing after Trump had long been on the scene. That timing means they don’t carry the same embarrassing baggage as Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz . In my view, either governor would be an upgrade from Trump; however, Youngkin’s hybrid model is clearly the better choice. Youngkin has demonstrated his ability to hold working-class rural voters who care about culturally conservative issues, while simultaneously performing better than Trump among college-educated suburbanites.
