Trump praises Youngkin’s election security measures as GOP eyes flipping Virginia
SUMMARY
Former President Donald Trump praised Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's executive order on election security, as Republicans aim to flip Virginia in the upcoming election. Youngkin's order strengthens ballot security, enhances testing of counting machines, and improves voter list maintenance. Trump, on Truth Social, lauded these measures, emphasizing the protection of legal votes and preventing non-citizens from voting. He encouraged other states to adopt similar measures for a fair and secure election. Despite their complex relationship, Youngkin joined Trump onstage earlier, pledging support for Trump's return to the White House. Political strategists believe Virginia, a state that hasn't voted Republican in two decades, could be in play this year.
