Youngkin is holding a major donor retreat this week. While the Republican hasn’t offered a firm public no on the possibility of a 2024 bid, he says his focus is on Virginia. If Youngkin did ultimately run, he would face logistical difficulties in putting together a last-minute campaign, ballot access hurdles and skepticism from some Republican voters who either don’t know him well or are locked in on former President Donald Trump.
