Glenn Youngkin, the Republican victor in this week's election for governor in Virginia, reacted angrily to a report which said his 17-year-old son twice tried to vote in the contest.

Responding to the Washington Post on Friday, a spokesman for Youngkin said: It's unfortunate that while Glenn attempts to unite the commonwealth around his positive message of better schools, safer streets, a lower cost of living and more jobs, his political opponents - mad that they suffered historic losses this year - are pitching opposition research on a 17-year-old kid."
