Media mogul Rupert Murdoch met Virginia’s Republican governor Glenn Youngkin twice to personally encourage him to start a White House run.
The 92-year-old Australian tycoon met with the rising GOP player, who only took Virginia’s top political office in 2021, at least twice this year, according to several sources who spoke to the Washington Post.
The date of the first meeting was unclear, while the second took place in the spring.
The revelation of the meetings comes after it was previously reported that Murdoch had privately told his close circle that he wanted to see Virginia’s 74th governor throw his hat in the ring.
