Conservative donors rally behind Glenn Youngkin for 2024 GOP presidential bid

Prominent conservative donors are urging Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to enter the GOP presidential race, as former President Donald Trump maintains a commanding lead in polls. While Youngkin has stated his focus on Virginia elections, he has not explicitly ruled out running. Donors such as former Attorney General Bill Barr and billionaire Thomas Peterffy believe Youngkin would draw serious support and funding if he were to run. The push for a last-minute candidacy reflects the frustration of many Republicans who see Trump's continued dominance in the party. However, time is running out for new candidates to get on the ballot in several states.
