Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday evening in an address that echoed many familiar themes of the evening, focusing on the economic impact of inflation.
Previously a businessman, Youngkin has been governor of Virginia since 2022. His name has been floated as a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump.
