Youngkin.... haven't watched/read much of his political stances.
Would he be an actual win or just another Romney type in a blue state waiting to sabotage the GOP anywhere he can???
Maybe we'll find out.![]()

When seeking the Republican nomination for governor, Youngkin for months refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden had won the presidency legitimately. Youngkin dodged or deflected questions on the subject, which became an issue after Trump refused to accept his defeat by Biden. After Youngkin won the Republican nomination, he stated that Biden was the legitimate president.[53][54] Youngkin has continued to emphasize "election integrity" as a major campaign issue and supports stricter voting laws, such as a photo ID requirement.[55][56]
During Youngkin's primary campaign, he pledged to "stand up against all of the legislation that has been passed by the Democrats" and to be an opponent of abortion.[57] He spoke out against gun legislation that Democrats had passed, including expanded background checks, handgun purchase limitations and red flag laws.[57] After winning the nomination, he de-emphasized these social issues, seeking to appeal to suburban swing voters.[57] In July, he was caught on a hot mic telling an activist that he would limit his comments about abortion during the campaign so that he would not alienate independent voters.[58][59] Also in July, the National Rifle Association (NRA) declined to endorse Youngkin after he refused to confirm his position on gun rights by not filling out their candidate survey.[60] In September, a Democratic-aligned group began running ads in conservative parts of Virginia, which seek to diminish Republican turnout by attacking his lack of an endorsement from the NRA.[61]
Youngkin supports the COVID-19 vaccine, but opposes mask and vaccine mandates.[62] He supports eliminating the grocery tax, suspending the gas tax increase, offering a one-time rebate on income tax, doubling the standard deduction on income tax, cutting the retirement tax on veterans' income, and implementing voter approval for any additional increase to local property taxes, which the Associated Press has called the "most wide-ranging and detailed" plan of his campaign.[63]
He will face the Democratic nominee, former governor Terry McAuliffe, in the general election. On July 12, 2021, Youngkin refused to meet with McAuliffe in the Virginia Bar Association (VBA) debate, citing his objection to the moderator, Judy Woodruff, for a donation she made to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund in 2010. The VBA had held a gubernatorial debate every election year since 1985. Youngkin has committed to three future debates with McAuliffe.[64] McAuliffe and Youngkin had their first debate on September 16, 2021, hosted by the Appalachian School of Law.[65] Youngkin criticized the Texas Heartbeat Act, which bans most abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy, stating he instead favors a "pain threshold bill," which occurs around twenty weeks.[66][67]
Youngkin's campaign has placed significant emphasis on the issue of education.[68][69][70] The campaign opposes protections for transgender students in Virginia public schools and is against what Youngkin has characterized as the pervasive teaching of critical race theory in the state.[68][69][70] Fact-checkers found no evidence that critical race theory was part of state curriculum standards and little evidence of it being taught in classrooms.[71][72] He has called for campus police to be stationed at every school in Virginia, as part of his final pitch, following a sexual assault in a Loudoun County school.[73][74]
Additional comments by Youngkin on the issue of education have been ranked false by fact-checkers. These include Youngkin's false accusation that his opponent, McAuliffe, would remove "the Pledge of Allegiance and the Fourth of July from curriculum" in schools,[75] and Youngkin's false accusation that McAuliffe asked President Biden "to dispatch the Department of Justice and the FBI to try to silence parents in Virginia".[76]
Asked if he accepts the scientific consensus on the causes of climate change, Youngkin said he does not know what causes climate change and that the cause ultimately does not matter.[77] Youngkin does support climate change adaptation efforts such as building additional seawalls.[77][78] He said he would not have signed Virginia's Clean Economy Act (which calls for Virginia’s carbon emissions to reach zero by 2050) because he believes it would increase utility prices.[77]
The LibTard fuckers will cheat their asses off, AGAIN!
Terry will win: https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=1554730
He's even begun to lawyer up to challenge the election results.
