Glenn Youngkin is not running for governor in the upcoming term because Virginia’s current governor is term-limited by the state constitution, which prevents him from seeking re-election in 2025. After serving since 2022, he cannot legally run again for governor in Virginia, so he would need to pursue another office or a different path if he wishes to remain in public life.

Key context and updates:

• Virginia imposes term limits on the governor, with the incumbent unable to seek a consecutive second term, shaping Youngkin’s post-term options and political calculus.

• In the period leading up to the 2025 cycle, discussions in Virginia and national politics centered on what Youngkin might do next—potential paths included national office, the U.S. Senate, or broader national leadership roles, rather than another gubernatorial bid in 2025.

If you’d like, I can summarize the latest reporting on Youngkin’s post- governorship plans and how Virginia’s 2025 race evolved, with citations from current outlets.
