all over the dmv. >> joining us now, drum roll, for the important races, former news 4 reporter tom sherthod. is what retirement looks like. you're very busy. >> got a clean suit. >> there you go. >> one left in your clothes, i bet. let's start with maryland. we have ben jealous, a longtime civic activist going against governor larry hogan and a conservative republican not align with trump at all r how is thae looking? >> that's the answer. ben jealous ran the naacp. very good at organizing and way behind larry han. let me look at three things here. jealous trails larry i hogan popular opinion polls, political polls and trails in fund raising. hogan has $9 million to spend in the next nine weeks and ben alous has 500,000 or less.

>> oh, dear. >> and hogan is eve pular among democrats while jealous is not that well-known. the good news for jealous he is a prodressive and former head of the naacp. he won the democratic pamary by uch larger number than anyone expected and is hoping like many democrats are that democrats will flood the polls to votai t donald trump. >> yeah, but then again hogan has also kind ofou ded trump on many occasions so it's not -- >> larry hogan has done evything but put himself in double wrap to stay away from >> and that is happening across the country, too. one of the more local races, talk about the montgomery county executive because we've got independent in nancy florine running. what's the impact and significance ofhat race? >> the longtime council member on the democratic primary barely to beat david blair by a few votes and then he thought he would have a fairly easyace against the perennial republican

fingeate robin suddenly nancy florine a veteran council member in the county, the democratic party gave her a retirement party last may. big thank-yous and good for serving and all that stuff. she got enough signatures to be on the ballot. so the question in that race is come november with the democrats in the county stick and maybe the republican candidate will sneak in. it's one of e biggest races to watch. >> he's been running like 1 year >> i'm even going out to montgomery county. >> let's look over in virginia, you know, senator tim kaine is going up against tony stewart who has wrapped himself in president trump and will use some of his nastier techniques. is that going to help him? >> cory stewart, the county

executive or the chairman of the board of supervisors in prince william county since 2006, but when the statewide campaigns, like when he ran for governor last year, he just goes all in for trump. very, very righwing, and it hasn't done well for him. he's way behind fund-raising for tim kaine and even some of the republicans are not aligning with hi and he said too many nice things about confederate monuments, put out a fake picture of tim kaine in honduras. >> this was fophotoshopped in. he's really narrowed his appeal the most ardent trump voters. you have to remember trump lost tola h clinton in 2016 so virginia is a purple state. it's not a trump state. right. >> and so it's going to be tough for him to make up the ground. >> and polls show kaine way out in ont. >> it's not early. >> but heating up. b >>bara comstock's race.

we saw the president last week tweeting out and actually saying pubically in different formats that he wants freeze on pay raises for most federal workers, a lot of them in northern virginia. how is this going t play for her? >> barbara comstock is a conservative republican and jennifer with exton, a state senator, is a democrat running against her o annra funding for barbara comstock and other b things the president coming out last week saying he wants to get rid of the 2% pay raise is a really bad thing. so bad that even cory stewart came out and said don't do tha so that race is really close to watch. this congressional t district, 10th, starts in the suburbs of washington and head out towards west virginia, and -- and the anti-trump feeling in that munty is changing for a lot of younger peopleing in, not traditional republicans and even some of the national republicans

privately than not they are worried about barbara comstock. she is a very good cam wigner anks hard but the tides could simply be against her. >> interesting to already seeing it on the air with commercials. >> the democrats in virgini are still giddy from last year. >> yeah. >> when they won a lot of state races. this year, and i was out in picnic n at a labor day just yesterday, they are really gearing up to continue what happened in to 17 and t2017 and republicre worried they just might. >> nice to see you. >> nbc news has launched itsth in-dmid-term coverage, the vote, america's future ahead on "nbc nightly" ne with lester holt and an investigation into holt and an investigation into election meddling and how your school supplies today...
