[Source.](https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/08/07/the-back-up-plan-youngkin-meets-gop-mega-donors-in-hamptons/) > Governor Glenn Youngkin headed to the Hamptons this weekend. Not for a relaxing day at the beach, but for a private dinner at the home of Wilbur Ross, Donald Trump’s former Commerce Secretary, who amassed a room of GOP mega donors to meet with the Virginia Republican. > Not officially billed as a fundraiser, Gov. Youngkin is said to have impressed dinner attendees – reportedly a who’s-who of the moneyed, establishment conservative class. > State elections for the Virginia legislature occur in off-years with Republicans currently holding a four seat majority in the House of Delegates (the lower legislative house) and the Democrats holding a four seat majority in the State Senate. While the purpose of Ross’s dinner for Youngkin was ostensibly to raise funds for these Virginia GOP election efforts, rumors abound that the governor may also be eying a potential run for President in 2024 – especially as the establishment frets over the collapse of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
