Trump issued a statement following Youngkin's win on Tuesday praising his own supporters and he reiterated the sentiment in his comments to Fox News.

Despite keeping his distance from Trump, the former president said Youngkin had called him on the day after the election and"really thanked me because he understood the importance of what we did.""They put me on the ballot. The Democrats put me on the ballot," he said.and said Virginia"is much more red than they think, OK? I don't really see that as a fully blue state.
