Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has called Senator JD Vance a "great" potential Republican nominee for the 2028 presidential election.
Youngkin made the remark in a recent interview. He praised the Ohio senator, who was Donald Trump's 2024 running mate.
However, the outgoing governor carefully avoided answering questions about his own political future. He did not say whether he plans to run for president in three years.
Youngkin's term as Virginia's governor ends in January. He is legally barred from seeking a second consecutive term. His comments fuel speculation about the next race for the White House.
