US Republican field looks crowded for next election — but Youngkin is one to watch… Trump & candidates certainly will

THE Republican field for the US presidential race nomination already looks crowded.

But are there people who should be on the stage who aren’t yet?

One name stands out. Glenn Youngkin — the 56-year-old governor of Virginia.

Youngkin was early to notice a political movement among parents in his state and ran with it all the way to the governor’s office.

Parents in Loudoun County were protesting against their school boards over the divisive rubbish being taught to their children.

First, Critical Race Theory — which is just a racist project intended to brow-beat anyone not from an ethnic minority.

Plus gender nonsense. That is the pretence that biological sex does not exist and human beings can change sex at will.

The parents hated this and ended up being joined by others around the country.

Since being in post Youngkin has brought his business acumen to make sure he actually makes the changes he promised in schools and elsewhere.

Is this his year? A growing number of people think so.

There were enough people taking hits at each other on the stage on Wednesday to wait until this round is over and then tread over some bodies.

If anyone has that sense of timing then Youngkin does.

Watch out for him. Donald Trump and the other candidates certainly will.
