What changed
The infobox gained a new "height" field specifying Youngkin's height as 6 ft 5 in (195 cm), with a citation to a New York Times article. In the Same-sex marriage section, a sentence was added noting that in 2006 voters amended the state's constitution to define marriage as heterosexual, and that the newly signed state law would only take effect if *Obergefell v. Hodges* is overturned and the state constitution is subsequently amended. The changes are spread across two separate sections of the article.
What changed
The diff shows one edit in a single paragraph about the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial debate. The word "second" was either added or removed from the phrase describing which debate Youngkin made his statement during — the two versions differ on whether it was characterized as his "second debate" against McAuliffe or simply "a debate." The change is confined to this one phrase in line 83, with no other content altered.

The short description was also updated from "74th governor of Virginia (born 1966)" to "74th governor of Virginia since 2022."

What changed
The infobox was updated to change Youngkin's title from "American businessman and 2021 Republican Virginia gubernatorial nominee" to "American businessman and governor-elect of Virginia (born 1966)," and new infobox fields were added including his height (6 ft 7 in), spouse (Suzanne Youngkin, married 1995), number of children (4), and lieutenant governor-elect (Winsome Sears). The introductory paragraph was rewritten to reflect his status as governor-elect following his victory over Terry McAuliffe in the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election, with a projected inauguration date of January 15, 2022 as the 74th governor added. The changes appear concentrated in the opening infobox and lead paragraph rather than spread across multiple sections.
What changed
The main changes are: 1. A new "Net worth" field was added to the infobox, stating Youngkin's net worth as US $300 million as of May 2021. This information was not previously included in the infobox. 2. The sentence "Prior to entering politics, he spent 25 years at the private-equity firm [[The Carlyle Group]], rising to become its CEO in January 2018." was added to the main article text, providing a brief professional background for Youngkin. 3. The phrase "American businessman and political candidate" was added to the description of Youngkin at the beginning of the article. 4. The sentence "Prior to entering politics, he spent 25 years at the private-equity firm [[The Carlyle Group]], rising to become its CEO in January 2018." was added to the main article text, providing a brief professional background for Youngkin. The changes are concentrated in the first part of the article, with the addition of the new infobox field and the two sentences about his professional background and political candidacy.
