Your analysis is spot on., but I wonder if when the dust settles on the Secessionist-In-Chief/Wannbe Mussolini suburban "no-sidewalks street fight" ends up looking like the outcome of a Ukrainian cityscape, will the Governor Sweater-vest come forward???

It’s interesting to game out how Rexrode’s statement is or isn’t consistent with your three theories. Maybe that’s just a way of Youngkin hedging his bets, which I suspect he is consciously doing no matter which of your scenarios is closest to the truth.

Maybe he just likes being in videos with fighter jets.

European fighter jets to boot!

I agree with your analysis of this. I don’t believe Youngkin will enter the race but can’t see Trump or DeSantis choosing him as Veep. We all “think” we know how this will play out, Trump being the nominee, however nothing in this political climate is anything a given.

If presidential candidate Mike Pence does leave so much as a shadow, how will we know whether Youngkin runs or not? Maybe "practicing" running for president is excuse enough for a 2024 bid?

<b>Virginia limits its governors to a single term — utterly dumb</b>

That’s what I’ve thought, too. I could maybe understand a two term limit. I’m surprised anyone is even interested in running for a four year job.
