Youngkin appeals to both grassroots and establishment Republicans. “He seems acceptable to them all – but I always add the words ‘so far,’” says Larry Sabato, founder and director of UVA’s Center for Politics. “One of his main problems is that Donald Trump is never going to yield center stage until he’s six feet under. That’s going to be tough for Youngkin. The only way he wins is by doing what he’s obviously going to do: Spend an unbelievable amount of his personal money, combined with Biden becoming unpopular – if he does.”
