The dark horse may be the strongest horse.

Glenn Youngkin is sitting at the outer edge of Trump VP speculation. You wouldn’t give him particularly high odds (J. D. Vance is probably the front-runner at this point), but there’s always a chance of Trump pulling a surprise, and the term-limited Virginia governor would be a welcome one.
