The big differences in the two: Youngkin, barely more than half way through his freshman year in elective office, has a broad and elastic constituency within the GOP, and thus a credible path to a presidential nomination, whereas Hogan, having built a significant policy record in two terms as chief executive, has little chance to top a GOP primary field.��
