Following Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress, Governor Glenn Youngkin doubled down on his support of Trump’s increasing attacks on Virginia’s economy and workforce. Youngkin tweeted on Wednesday morning that “America is back” and “common-sense prevails” as thousands of Virginians face the looming threat of losing their jobs and health care.

Youngkin has repeatedly voiced his support for Trump’s destructive agenda. At a press conference last week, he said that Trump should “press forward” even as he admitted “Virginians will be hurt.” He also directed laid-off workers to simply search for jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed and update their resumes.

"How can Glenn Youngkin look a Virginian in the eye who has just lost their job? How can he look a disabled veteran in the eye who’s worried about losing health care? How can he look a single mother in the eye who can’t afford to put food on the table? The truth is, he can because he doesn’t care about the people he’s meant to serve,” said DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker. “Virginians deserve a governor who will put Virginia first—not someone who eagerly defends a harmful agenda at every turn."
