Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin joins Lisa Boothe to discuss the battle for the 2026 midterm elections, the affordability crisis facing American families, school choice, parents' rights and what he sees as the growing influence of socialism inside the Democratic Party.

Youngkin, who won one of the country's most closely watched battleground races in Virginia in 2021, explains what Republicans need to do to win over voters in a difficult midterm environment. He argues that the GOP must acknowledge the pain Americans are feeling from inflation and higher gas prices while making a stronger case for its economic agenda.

Youngkin also discusses his push to expand educational freedom and school choice through a federal tax credit that can help families pay for private school tuition, tutoring, transportation and additional educational services. He explains why he's pressuring Democratic governors to opt into the program and why he believes teachers unions remain one of the biggest obstacles to expanding parental choice.

Lisa and Youngkin revisit the famous moment from the 2021 Virginia governor's race when Terry McAuliffe said he didn't believe parents should be telling schools what to teach. Youngkin explains why that moment crystallized a fundamental political divide over who should make decisions for America's children.

Finally, Youngkin sounds the alarm over the ideological direction of the Democratic Party, arguing that socialists are winning its internal battle and that Republicans have an opportunity to contrast their agenda with the progressive left heading into November.
