KEARNEY, Neb. — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin told Nebraska Republicans Saturday that his victory last year in what he described as a “dark blue” state was the beginning of a “red wave” that he suspects will sweep across the U.S. and will land in “Nancy Pelosi’s California.”

Youngkin defeated his Democratic opponent, former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, in a state where Republicans had won only one of the past five elections for governor.

His recent success has spurred rumors that he might run for president in 2024. Saturday, Youngkin was the keynote speaker at the Nebraska Republican Party's state convention - a gathering that later turned contentious with the ouster of the party chairman.

Youngkin believes the political tide began to shift during the COVID-19 pandemic because Democratic leaders had shut down local small businesses and schools.

On Saturday, he raised those issues again, claiming that Virginia public schools were teaching “politics” and telling students to judge others based on the color of their skin.

Youngkin said a big reason why he won his election is that he drew support from Democrats and independents who had never voted Republican before, including members of the Black and Latino communities.
