8:25Now PlayingVirginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin spoke Monday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, two days after an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The suspected shooter, who was killed by law enforcement, killed one person and seriously injured two.
Youngkin was elected governor in 2021, a year after President Joe Biden carried Virginia by 10 points over Donald Trump.
"After 12 years of only electing Democrats statewide, in November 2021, Virginians elected a Republican outside businessman as their 74th governor. And I believe this year, Virginia will elect another Republican outside businessman as president," Youngkin said.
"President Trump proved that common-sense conservative leadership works. It works for America, and we're proving it in Virginia," Youngkin said. "Virginia now has record job growth and we were just named America's top state for business."
During the convention, delegates will adopt a party platform and Trump will formally accept the Republican nomination for president. On Monday, Trump named Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate.
The Republican National Convention kicks off Monday, July 15, in Milwaukee against the backdrop of an apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump this weekend. PBS News will have gavel-to-gavel special coverage each day of the convention, with a continuous stream from the main floor.
