Governor Youngkin: Trump Is Surging Because He Cares About What Voters Care About

 Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said over the weekend that former President Donald Trump was surging in the polls because he cares about the issues that matter the most to voters.

Youngkin made the remarks during a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream while discussing the state of the 2024 presidential race.

He said that the reason Democrats resort to making pathetic attacks against Trump is that they do not have a candidate in Vice President Kamala Harris who is “unable to really convey a future vision for the country and what she will do to tackle the most important issues.”

“The reality, of course, is if they would just focus on what the voters are focusing on, which is the economy, the border, national security, and of course, feeling safe in our own country because of the number of illegal immigrants who have come across and turned every state into a border state,” Youngkin said.

He said that as he travels around his purple state and listens to voters that what he hears is their “massive concern about the economic future and their ability to afford groceries, gas, tuition, and to buy a home or make rental payments.”

“What I hear over and over again are major concerns about the millions of people that have come across the border and the hundreds of thousands of violent criminals that have crossed the border, just identified two weeks ago by senior ICE officials,” he said. “What I also hear are major concerns about safety. These are the topics President Trump is talking about.”

“The reason why the other side can’t talk about them, and why they want to distract everyone, is because they have demonstrated over the last three and a half years that they don’t have the answers,” he continued. “They’ve unleashed unprecedented inflation that has been a gut punch anytime someone walks into a grocery store, they’ve allowed millions upon millions of illegal immigrants to come across the border and turn every state into a border state.”

He said that what has happened over the last three and a half years is the result of having a weak president and vice president in office.

“Americans and Virginians want strength back in the White House,” he concluded. “They want someone who will stand for a strong economy, where the lives of all Americans are lifted, like we had before. High growth and low inflation, not low growth and high inflation, where people can’t get great jobs, and where manufacturing comes back to the United States. This is the future Virginians and Americans are talking to me about, and that’s why we see President Trump surging in the polls around the country.”
