Republican Glenn Youngkin sworn in as governor of Virginia

Republican Glenn Youngkin was sworn on Saturday as the next governor of Virginia, delivering an optimistic message about empowering parents, overcoming COVID-19 and providing economic relief to families and businesses hard-hit by the pandemic and inflation.

The highly competitive Virginia gubernatorial showdown between former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin is a closely watched statewide race with national implications. The face off is seen as a key bellwether ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when the Democrats will try to defend their razor thin House and Senate majorities. Virginia and New Jersey are the only two states to hold races for governor in the year after a presidential election, guaranteeing they receive outsized attention across the country. Among the key issues in the election are education, jobs and the economy, crime, and abortion. And even though they're not on the ballot, both President Biden and former President Trump have become major factors in the race, where all sides have spent nearly $50 million to run ads during the general election campaign.
