ETA: Youngkin was sworn in as governor on January 15, 2022. He cannot serve two terms in a row. He was to wait at least four years before running again.
For any shooting before January 15, 2022, Youngkin would have had no say in how the Virginia flag was displayed.

Wouldn't they just be lowered all the time?
