you kind of stretch both sides of the coin there in the commonwealth.r whether you think terry mcauliffe's strategy of talking about donald trump so much and tying glenn youngkin to donald trump so much has been effective. was that the right approach, do you think? >> well, i think that some of those comparisons certainly break through frequently in the reporting. but if you're there listening to terry mcauliffe, anybody who is out stumping for him, anybody who knows what he did when he was governor, terry mcauliffe brought billions of dollars of investment to central virginia -- or to virginia, excuse me, not just central virginia. brought tens of thousands of jobs. was great for our economy. we are now the best state in the nation for business two years in a row. we want to make that a third under terry mcauliffe's leadership. so, you know, out and about, people know what he did when he was governor. they knew he was a great jobs governor. frankly, that's one of the reasons why i'm so excited to be pushing for a vote on our infrastructure investment a
