[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should a one-term governor care about poll numbers?[/quote] 2023 general assembly elections will be in part a referendum on Youngkin. If he is underwater, the Democrats are far more likely to shore up their numbers in both chambers, which will make it all but impossible for Youngkin to advance his agenda. Also, you don’t run for Virginia governor if you have no further political ambitions. Youngkin has his eye on the presidency, but probably recognizes he’ll need to try to grab a senate seat first to avoid a period of irrelevancy when his term ends a year after the 2024 election. He won’t oust Kaine or Warner if he is underwater given that both last won re-election by significant margins. And he is unlikely to win a presidential nomination if he can’t be reasonably assured of carrying Virginia.[/quote]
