msnbc's chris jansing is in louden county. with me on set is my partner for election coverage for the rest of the day and night, kristen welker. that's the question all of us have. are there -- is there such thing as a biden/youngkin voter? mcauliffe's folks don't believe it is. youngkin's folks believe louden county will tell us if they're right and mcauliffe is wrong. >> i can tell you i've met them. some people have told me that they're frustrated by what's going on in washington. the question obviously is how many of them are there. as you look at this whole issue of math versus momentum, chuck, the math is pretty clear. i mean, look, this is a place that turned blue with the movement to the suburbs, louden county here is a place that's doubled its population in the last 20 years. i think it went up 30% in the last census. biden won here by 25%. the current governor, ralph northam by almost 20%. i just got a text from someone close to the mcauliffe campaign who sounded a little bit more optimistic. he says the early number
