Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin raised his national profile at a CNN town hall on education, fielding thorny questions in hostile territory with sunny optimism while fueling speculation about a possible 2024 presidential bid.

The first-term GOP governor touted his record on raising teacher pay and fund tutoring grants at the Thursday night event while sticking to his conservative principles on a host of education hotspots, including single-sex sports, critical race theory, sexually explicit materials, and academic excellence versus equity.

“We have to celebrate excellence,” Mr. Youngkin said. “We shouldn’t embrace equity at the expense of excellence. Students work hard, they receive these kinds of accolades. Their parents and the kids should know.” The question didn’t exactly address the controversy, which has more to do with girls sharing restrooms with biological males than with biological females who identify as male.

“I think sports are very clear, and I don’t think it’s controversial,” Mr. Youngkin said. “I don’t think that biological boys should be playing sports with biological girls. There’s been decades of efforts in order to gain opportunities for women in sports, and it’s just not fair.”

Empty suit I'm afraid

Nope, doesn't have a chance.

This is one of the worst, right down there with Bobo, Marge, and George Santos.

I like DeSantis better.

Never. Youngkin will turn out to be a RINO. He ain’t MAGA.

Like people don’t know history , the problem is we the ones that want to change it

So few Americans understand what is happening in other parts of the world - Arch-rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia agree to revive ties, reopen embassies in China-brokered deal—-The left does not know the international situation every day, and is still persecuting Trump

A fearless governor speaking truth.
