Glenn Youngkin in Brief
Virginia's former governor is the field's business-wing option, with private-equity fundraising reach but no current office and a shrinking share of primary attention.
Case for: Self-funding capacity, a suburban-friendly brand, and a lane that opens if the frontrunner stumbles.
Case against: No current platform, declining polling, and minimal early-state footprint.
Full Glenn Youngkin tracker →Ron DeSantis in Brief
Florida's governor retains a national donor rolodex and a policy record built for a primary electorate, but has yet to commit to a second national campaign.
Case for: A proven statewide operation, durable support among movement conservatives, and residual national infrastructure from the prior cycle.
Case against: Flat polling, a donor base that has partly migrated to the frontrunner, and lingering skepticism from the 2024 campaign.
