Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin expressed gratitude to God for protecting former President Donald Trump after an alleged assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Youngkin made these remarks during the Republican National Convention, where he emphasized unity and grace for the victims and their families.
Youngkin praised Trump's economic policies, stating that the economy thrived under his administration. He promised a future under Trump's leadership that would bring about a robust economy benefiting all Americans. The governor highlighted the potential for job growth, tax cuts, reduced inflation, deregulation, energy independence, and a resurgence of American manufacturing.
Comparing Trump's tenure to the current administration, Youngkin argued that America experienced high growth and low inflation under Trump, while the country is now facing low growth and high inflation under President Joe Biden. He framed the upcoming election as a choice between common sense and chaos, extreme measures versus weakness.
Youngkin, a successful businessman who assumed office as governor of Virginia in 2021, positioned himself as a supporter of Trump's policies and vision for the country. He painted a picture of a prosperous future under Trump's leadership, appealing to voters with promises of economic revitalization and American exceptionalism.
