is only one year into his term, but his name is already being tossed around in the same breath as Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis as the GOP looks for its next presidential nominee.
Virginia governors are permitted by law a single consecutive term. Former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe was able to run against Youngkin essentially because fellow Democrat Ralph Northam was the incumbent at the time.

And to even have my name surfaced is so humbling."
Republicans had previously voiced hope that not only Kiggans would defeat Luria, but that Prince William County's Yesli Vega would upset moderate Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, and potentially for political newcomer Hung Cao to unseat Rep. Jennifer Wexton in a much bluer district west of Washington, D.C.
