GET ME REWRITE: Term-limited Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin begins his rehabilitation tour in Iowa

 

Headline:  Des Moines Register, 7/17/2025

Marissa Payne and Norah Judson report:

Youngkin's visit as the keynote speaker at the Lincoln event renewed speculation about his political ambitions as the 2028 presidential race looms, though he made no mention of a potential campaign. 

Weeks after Youngkin's visit to the first-in-the-nation GOP caucus state, he heads to South Carolina — another early primary state — for the state Republican Party's Silver Elephant Gala, its biggest annual fundraiser. 

The events are considered essential for Republican presidential hopefuls to establish relationships with major donors.
