Virginia governor Youngkin apologizes after mixing up Black state senators

The Virginia governor, Glenn Youngkin, has apologized after mistaking one Black legislator for another in a text message.

Youngkin is the new Republican governor of the state, which has trended Democrat in recent election cycles but stunned observers by picking Youngkin as its new leader last year over a centrist Democrat candidate.
