you have this glen youngkin thing. any views to be weird, shall we say, but he played this game with the trump folks, the trump people endorsed him and they flew a flag at his rallies that were flown on january 6th and it's an interesting line he walks. he did not avidly disavow trumpians and stop the steal and insurrectionists. >> as you know, i've always maintained that trump was an aberration for republicanism, that is the ideology of republicanism and not necessarily those who claimed to be adherence, meaning the party. terry mcauliffe frankly ran a very bad race. terry mcauliffe based his race off of gavin newsom's recall election. he was the opponent in the recall as donald trump and larry elder didn't have the money to identify himself and therefore that strategy worked. it did not work in virginia. glen youngkin didn't do anything to indicate he was like donald trump right down to the way he dressed which meant terry mcauliffe to say he's trump in khakis which is an acknowledgement that he wasn't like donald tr

trump. >> how will glen youngkin govern? s very conservative and i don't think virginiians fully know that. >> youngkin wants to curtail abortion rights, he's against gay marriage and against defunding police and in schools -- >> i will ban critical race theory. >> that's the idea that racism is not just the product of individual prejudice, but something embedded in legal systems and policies. while youngkin says he'll ban the teaching of critical race theory in schools it is already not officially in the curriculum in virginia. youngkin's principal weakness is that he's never held public office before and still after his stunning win in virginia, higher office could be in his future. >> look at the guy. projects a great image and looks like a suburban dad, has great khakis and is worth $400 million and now he's going to be governor of one of the key swing states. >> but professor larry sabato says the specter of donald trump will continue to hang over glen youngkin. it trump run again it would put him in a difficult position

terry mcauliffe, glen youngkin. there and are breaking blue and they hate trump. let's get some info from the wizard of odds. >> glen youngkin has momentum in the final month of this campaign. a month ago, terry mcauliffe was leading. now, look at it. what do we see? mcauliffe's lead got sliced in half in october. now, youngkin has a one-point lead. that's within the margin of error. but momentum is on his side. if i had to make a prognostication, while it's not a surprise if either candidate would win, i would put more money on glen youngkin at this point. >> why? >> you see that republicans are more likely to turn out than democrats are. republicans are more enthusiastic than democrats. you look at the likely voters among registered voters. among registered voters, terry mcauliffe has a three-point lead. you might make the argument that democrats haven't passed much of anything. i would also point out that this fits a historical pattern. the party out of power tends to have more enthusiasm on its side because they

he's in a tight race with republican glen youngkin. the race has been dominated by cultural issues really, but also former president trump has loomed large over this race as well. we have all of the key races covered for you. let's begin with sunlen serfaty live at a polling place in virginia. what are you seeing and hearing? >> reporter: well, kate, voting is under way here in virginia and has been for hours now. we're here at an arlington, virginia, polling center. this is a suburb just outside of washington, d.c. we've seen a steady stream of voters coming in, casting their ballots in person in the last five hours. the polling director here at this location says they have seen 360 people come in and cast their vote. that is a marked increase, she says, from years past, and of course you have people also coming in and dropping their mail-in ballotis as well. key for candidates today is getting out the vote in this razor-close race. we have a few minutes ago our first chance to see republican candidate glen youngkin out on the campaig

have former governor democrat all points bulletin is hoping for a second term while businessman glen youngkin is hoping to return the governor's mansion to republicans. here is youngkin making a final pitch to voters on monday. >> all points bulletin, who wants to -- he wants to put government between parents and their children. he wants to force everyone to join the union as opposed to letting it be your choice. he wants to make your life difficult by forcing your employer to fire you if you don't want the vaccine and not let you get unemployment. >>:krn national political reporter dan. merca is here for us. this is national. >> first for virginia, this is the next four years of leadership. it's become a referendum on the last eight years of democratic leadership in the governor's mansion. you've seen a lot of momentum behind youngkin in part because republicans are happy to be in this game. for last decade or so it's been impossible for a republican to get elected statewide in virginia. some of the momentum behind youngkin is because of that. there are national implications as well. a young

this time in virginia, glen youngkin had issues. education, quality of life, crime. he wrote down a list of things that he would do about it. reforming the dmv. and he ran it on, and he never took the bait of the fundamentally unserious campaign run by the democrats, solely focused on one thing. lie about glen youngkin, trying to turn him into donald trump. stewart was part of it. it was never true. and had youngkin taken that bait, he would have been drug down. but the lesson for republicans, listen to the voters, write a platform, run on issues. and i think the lesson for democrats, if you thought you were going to run the midterms all on trump, you're sorely mistaken. >> and you also don't have to give trump a bear hug every five minutes no matter what he says. let's see if that carries forward as well. stewart, the main criticism is, sure, it was terry mcauliffe, democrats all over the country are talking about trump like he was a step away from the white house. do you guys regret what you did at the lincoln project, and that approach by democrats? >> look, i thi

glen youngkin wins allegheny county by 50 points. i want to show you something. one of the questions we had coming into last night was could he match donald trump's number in a place like allegheny county. youngkin exceeded it. check out this trend. if you go back pretrump to allegheny county and this neck of the woods in virginia, republicans -- the democrats were in the game. mitt romney won al campaigny county by three points in 2012. trump got massive numbers when we came along. one of the questions yesterday was could a republican not named trump continue to run up the numbers? youngkin did even better. it was all of these small rural counties and cities. youngkin in one after another improved in trump support. he won back some of the suburbs. he didn't get to the old republican level in the suburbs, but he supplemented it with new republican strength in rural virginia. that's the combination that gets youngkin over the top. >> you mentioned the suburbs. chris, let's talk about the suburbs here in virginia for just a moment here. there's some interesting dat

it is almost as if trump doesn't know how to pronounce or even know what glen youngkin's last name is. so there was nothing really there, good or bad. and that was a tremendous help to youngkin because his worst nightmare would have been if donald trump started attacking him. now, that is i think a point that often gets lost here. trump's endorsement doesn't really have the same power that his attacks do against a republican. >> right. >> his endorsement often is fine. i doesn't hurt. but it's when he comes out and attacks republicans that it really sings them. youngkin kept that line open so trump didn't feel alienated, didn't feel brushed off. and he was happy to sit back and not issue nasty statements. and it worked. and i think -- you know, the point that tim made about what ordinary voters see and what we in journalism circles often talk about, that that disconnect is very real, because you know, for most people donald trump has been off the radar. the deplatforming has been a real help to the republican party in a way that i think doesn't get talked about enough. trump isn't in

glen youngkin or somebody else. the fact that he had a wherewithal on the issues that people care about and have confidence to run in a blue state. i have conservative solutions to the problems you care about. he did it in a blue state and won the race. trump never did that. let's be honest. he had ideas about certain things. it touched nerves. this race, it was an issue agenda. it was put forward and the voters responded. >> he was a good candidate. he ran a good campaign. candidates and campaigns matter. i look at the campaign and think, who is that resonating for? and youngkin seized control. he scooped up the football when mcauliffe fumbled it on the issue of parents and schools and took out of context what mcauliffe said and did do what van said, which was dog whistling. to the extent that republicans take away the message that you can have a p.g. version of trump, arouse his base and have a good outcome. >> this idea, you keep saying it's dog whistling and they're touching on the race issues. glen youngkin ran

candidate in virginia, glen con youngkin, has called for auditing of vote mag sheens.nt making outright unfounded lies, but then you have this sort of middle ground saying, yeah, we've got to be sure about integrity here, we have to do an audit. does that contribute to the overall sense, which as you say, has e v seduced a lot of people, that there's something amiss here, that folks like you are cheating them out of their votes? >> right. so i think those who give a wink-wink, nod-nod, to, yeah, we need to make sure that we have -- are really doing this country a great disservice. >> yeah. yeah. i hear you. i wonder, listen, it's not just something that's uncomfortable for people like you, because people like you have become the targets, sometimes of threats around the country. cnn has done a lot of stories about this. we've talked to people in that category. are you concerned that you've become a target based on these lies? >> absolutely. actually, just this morning i received about three dozen very personal attacking, trolling emails accusing me preelection of fraud

because of the failures of the biden presidency, which dovetails with the rise of glen youngkin. afghanistan happened in august, glenn youngkin started to rise. he took biden off of the mailers , he wouldn't stay face on the debate stage. joe biden. >> he did keep saying on the debate stage, i should say the stump. was donald trump. he even lied and said that donald trump was physically wit the republican candidates the night before. >> it didn't work out. >> he wasn't just a above, my mom used to say you can't even clean it up by all seven. so let me tell you this, what has changed in the blue states? or is it the candidates? he said the current election is about the current president, no the backed that's a lesson that he learned the hard way last night great all you need to kno about why he won in virginia is number one, who was in the audience in his victory speech. did you see the signs that wear there? appearance for youngkin, latino for youngkin. law-enforcement for ari. in my personal favorite democrats for glenn. the double down on what issues as polls reflected were most

>> i would argue glen youngkin did because he's closing in the polls.'s tieing this to nationaling issues in some ways and flight joe biden is the president of and right now joe biden the president looking at his popularity in virginia and nationally, in the state of virginia approval rating of 45%, compared to favorable rating on election day 2020 just 52%. that's basically the same trend we're siege nationally. now biden down 43% versus election day 52% this is the thing so important when talking about why does virginia have national implications, if you look at the last three cycles, 2009, 2013, 2017 look at at approval rating of the president all in the 40s. somewhere in the low or high 40s. in all those cases in the following midterm they lost house seats. >> they usually lose house seats in the first term with couple exceptions, american people tend to like balance, we don't know how it will play out now in such an untraditional time. i like slide five. i think it makes a very important point about the true risk for democrats, whichsen enthusism y

glen youngkin wasn't a trump republican or romney republican, he was a youngkin republican. d suburban people who maybe voted for biden to come over and vote for glen. >> here's the thing, though, doug. you have been very clear that you think trump needs to be excised from this party. that's not this. that's not what he's saying. does this work for other republicans other than youngkin? >> i don't think we know yet. i think we'll have to see as republicans continue to campaign. i'd say running for governor is very different than running for senate or for congress. but clearly, what youngkin was trying to do and was successful was a camel walking through the eye of a needle. it's a very difficult thing to do, especially when you have donald trump lobbing grenades all the time that everyone feels the need to respond to, that they were able to show restraint. what a great job not just youngkin did but his team as a rock star and rising star. what they were to do was difficult because anytime donald trump says or does anything, everyone wants to respond or get a response. >> repu

glen youngkin is 6'7". he's huge. congratulations to my good friend. incredible win. john maguire said he left the january 6th rally before anything else happened. he was unaware that people had gone into the capitol until he got home. now, there is a picture that was circulated by his democratic opponent of him in which he is seen next to people in paramilitary gear near the capitol, but again, no proof he entered the capitol. he himself said i didn't even know it was happening. that's virginia. there are a lot of other elections. let's go to the next screen because there were a bunch of other people elected. natalie elected in napa, idaho, not ohio. augsburger in connecticut, my home state. he was elected to a school board. there were eight openings for -- nine openings for eight seats. so he came in -- he beat one person out. this is the one that's interesting, matthew lynch in massachusetts, former teacher resigned in february when it became clear that he was going to be -- that he was at the rally, pictures of him emerged. he resigns, and he has told people that

terry mccallf and glen youngkin are blitzing virginia.d of next year's mid-term elections when control of congress hangs in the balance. cnn's arlet saenz has more. >> reporter: democrat terry mc mccullf making his case directly to the state president biden won by 10 points years ago. now he's in an incredibly tight race with his gop opponent. he touted his record as he served as a former governor here in the state pointing to the jobs he created while he serves as governor. but he also slammed his gop opponent glen youngkin calling him clueless and dangerous for the commonwealth. mcauliffe has been consistently linking youngkin to president trump. >> he's trying to get himself off the map. he wants to win here tuesday and wednesday donald trump announces he's running in 2024. are we going to allow that to go on here? >> reporter: one thing mcauliffe is hoping for is that by invoking the former president's name talking about his possible presidential ambitions that that will serve as a motivating factor for democrats independents here in

business man glen youngkin narrowly defeated former governor terry mccallive in a state that president won. major blow for democrats. >> they're so divided right now. political version of "family feud" when you look at people in congress. from the far far left to the far far right. nobody wants to talk to anybody and people look at this, look at republicans and say you know what, no trump, not so bad. >> former president trump who endorsed youngkin is claiming victory but he's carefully kept his distance from the former president and did not campaign with him. his key issues were education and critical race theory which isn't even taught in virginia. >>> back in 60 seconds, wild ride, stolen big rig takes chp on a chase happening in southern california right now. >> thousands of new homes and way to get around. >>> and showers developing from cloverdale to >>> take a look. don't think we've ever seen this. new video of a stolen big rig down in l.a. police say it was stolen from a company yard in the city of bell. driver led officers through several cities in san fernando valley, used s

. >>> election night in virginia, nbc news projecting that republican glen youngkin is the next governord indicate direction of the midterm elections. ran on banning critical race theory from schools. last year joe biden won. republican national committee is saying this is the start of a red wave. new york city elected second african-american to be mayor in its history. he campaigned to reallocate police resources towards fighting gun violence and creating transparency in the nypd. >>> president biden is back on european soil after wrapping up the european tour. among the big achievements, leaders of more than 100 nations agreed to end deforestation by 2030. the summit continues through next week. >>> back in 60 seconds. still ahead, followed for 40 miles and robbed in front of his home. frightening attack on bay area photographer on his home camera. >>> not a shot but nasal spray, new vaccine that could offer even better >>> thieves are getting more brazen and violent. bay area photographer spotted at golden gate bridge, followed him home 40 miles to fremont and he was robbed of gear. c

the polling now shows glen youngkin with all the momentum in virginia. what are you hearing from the voters you're talking to in virginia beach? >> i came here to virginia beach because it is a quintessential swing area. biden won this by several points. before that trump won by several points. bottom line, if youngkin is going to win, this is where we're going to feel it. and being here is hard not to feel the cross, the heavy cross winds that are being faced by terry mcauliffe. now, we spoke with a number of voters at a couple of different diners. i'm outside anchor alley where youngkin had a breakfast event earlier. and to a person, garrett, all these voters are republicans and there were much more of them willing to talk than the democrats. wanted to talk about the issue of education. wanted to talk about their belief that this critical race theory notion is being taught in schools and that they're very upset about it. take a listen to the couple we talked to earlier today. >> they're trying to teach our children that they should feel bad about it. y

suburban, urban, rural, and other voters were talking about on tuesday night and why they voted for glen youngkinnd almost voted for a new republican governor in new jersey. but added legislative seats. we need to understand that-- wet giving away money does not make them want to go to work. it penalizes the hard-working taxpayers that put that money in there for the first place. i don't think that is what the republican ever supported. we said that that did not matter. the republican party has to stand for hard-working working-class taxpayers in this country. and work for everything you got. you should not have that taken away. [applause] inflation is getting higher and higher. everything is getting more expensive. the government's responses to make government more expensive. we need to stand for the idea that at times like this, the government has to be less expensive. they cannot continue to drive because. these are things we have to stand for. we need to be clear eyed. a republican president should not be throwing bouquets at eight dictator in china. they are gathering people across china and

you are looking at a glen youngkin who did not go through a primary.gh a prefabricated convention system in which they did rank choice voiting, number one. number two, they mate sure that the candidates that were in there were largely palatable, they could manage that process. it is no wild, wild west that you may see in some of the other primaries around the country which, again, trump will use to his greatest advantage. here's the question for those candidates. so you are begging for trump's endorsement. is that just all you need or want? what about the cash? trump is sitting on three quarters of a billion dollars, right? is he sharing the love with all of those candidates that he is endorsing who are standing in line breaking their back, you know, and bending over to bend the knee for trump? no. they are not getting any money from donald trump. so there is, again, this transactional relationship with the nature of this relationship that is very one-sided. it is not designed to actually grow the party, expand the reach along policy lines, but rather

that's the combination that would win this night for glen youngkin. the suburbs with equal trump enthusiasm, in those core southwest shenandoah valley rural areas of this state. that's the balancing act he's been trying to strike as a candidate. that was the goal for youngkin in the densely populated democratic heavy northern virginia. it wasn't win. it was make the kind of inroads i just showed you. and then, it was could he get the kinds of votes in the rural parts of the state that donald trump was getting could he get the kind of support that donald trump got in southwest virginia for instance, in trump country, in sort of a bell weather swing area of the state, and in the core democratic areas of northern virginia. glen youngkin just county after county, city after city, tonight, hitting his number -- >> seth: first of all, as much as election night sucks, it's just great to see kornacki back at his element i mean, it's like seeing a rare beautiful angler fish as you drown at the bottom of the ocean. [ laughter ] kornacki is like the poli-sci tea

. >> all right, the countdown's reached zero voting drive arrived here in virginia glen youngkin, the republican, actually ahead by a small amount over terry mcauliffe this looks like a race that will make for a very intense and potentially long election night. here's what we will look for as the results come in tonight. remember, joe biden won this state by 10 points last year virginia has been trending blue the last decade-and-a-half we will look in the suburbs right outside of washington, d.c., northern virginia. this is the area trending democratic for a long time and really accelerated that trajectory during donald trump's presidency this was the epicenter of the trump backlash in virginia it's why joe biden will win the state by 10 point. how much of that gains have democrats held on to now that donald trump is no longer president how much have republicans been able to win back that's a big question we are asking about northern virginia another involves geographically a large area of the state. southwest virginia, shenandoah yale valley here republicans made gains, geographicall

in the state of virginia, the republican candidate for governor, glen youngkin, is leading his democraticnor's race in newjersey, republican challengerjack ciattarelli, a former state lawmaker, was leading heavily favored democratic governor phil murphy. let's go straight to pollster extroadinaire frank luntz for his analysis. let's focus first of all on virginia, it seems to be the most significant battle of the night and it is looking like a pretty bad one for the democrats, what do you put that down to? ~ ., ., ~ ., down to? well in looking at the results, three _ down to? well in looking at the results, three points. _ down to? well in looking at the results, three points. numberl results, three points. number one is that the lieutenant governor and the attorney general on the democratic side look like they are headed to the feet, so this is notjust a loss for terry mcauliffe and former governor of virginia it is a loss for all of the democrats. numbertwo is a loss for all of the democrats. number two is that theissue democrats. number two is that the issue of education became prevale

: in your position, your partly responsible for trying to get more republicans elected, is the glen youngkinategy something you're going to take a look at, encouraging republican personal candidates to ambulate? >> voters are smart across this country as they showed us a little less than two weeks ago. they understand these democrats are completely out of touch with main street usa. they will hold them accountable. we understand this is not just going to happen because we say it's going to happen. it's going to be a dogfight and we will have to run hard for the next year but we will hold them accountable and make sure the voters know the democrats policies, their incompetence are responsible for higher prices and lower, smaller paychecks, more expensive everything. they are responsible for the open border that wasn't a problem 11 months ago. we have a crime wave, national crime wave, a direct result of not only their rhetoric but their insane the front police policies. voters will hold them accountable a year from now. jon: there's also a report that taxes are going to go up, middle class un

i they glen youngkin might be better i guess for suburban women.probably, through a lot of republicans is still the leader of the current republican party and the people that don't go along with him get prime oaried. liz cheney is not getting recognize by the republican party at this point. mitch mcconnell would probably like to distance himself from president trump but is unable to because it might be political suicide. it's a weird dynamic that we're having here. i don't know how you thread that needle >> well, the way you do it, joe, is to be authentic and be yourself that's why i keep saying to folks, stop looking backwards, start looking forward and be yourself whatever that is, the voters want to see who you are. >> is it positive or negative for the republican party in 2022 and 2024 >> if he continues to talk about 2020 and grievance and vendetta politics if he looks forward, he can be helpful. >> governor christie, thank you. it's kind of a bipartisan. i don't know which party is more f'd up, i really don't i probably shouldn't say that. >>

we saw glen youngkin walk a fine line.ose to trump in order to keep that republican base out there. when you have a former president out there that is so alienated to so many talking about how elections don't work. could it backfire? >> look, mccarthy is in a prominent position. he's a prominent example of something almost every republican will have to ask themself. do i want to be part of this? do i want to be the plaything and the toy of trump. when he came in, republicans controlled both houses. we had a disastrous four years and p disastrous pandemic response. he's shown us what he can bring to this country. he can go right back to that. a lot of democrats are licking their lips saying, please give us more of the chaos that led back to taking bake the house. there is only one person who can answer that. that is donald trump. the party is his plaything. whatever he wants to do with it, apparently, the leadership wants to decide what to do with them. >> thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >>> every nu

and yet this year — it goest in favour of the republican glen youngkin.percentage point swing from democrat to republican in that group alone — and in the space of twelve months. i'm joined now by mary—ann marsh. good to see you. why did white suburban women who voted forjoe biden12 months ago turn on terry mcauliffe? biden 12 months ago turn on terry mcauliffe? �* , , , mcauliffe? because they believed ounu mcauliffe? because they believed young kinsale _ mcauliffe? because they believed young kinsale job _ mcauliffe? because they believed young kinsale job about _ mcauliffe? because they believed l young kinsale job about education. and yesterday was really the perfect storm of everything that's wrong about politics in the united states today. republicans defined that race, pushing propaganda about education fuelled by race and yet to win the governors race and they did. voters willingly accepted a lie as the truth and voted for the republican. and then the democrats there, tell him limit terry mcauliffe never took that seriously. allow the republicans

president trump put out a statement that glen youngkin is putting beginnians first. pushing the agenda forward and glenn youngkin will be the good for people of virginia, you know where i'm combing from. a lot of people do not like mr. trump. voted bense him last year. there is suspicion mr. trump getting into the race at the last minute it is the wrong thing to do. do you think mr. trump will help youngkin? >> i think president trump has been a very strong endorser of glenn youngkin. glenn youngkin's policies. the peel of virginia appreciate the fact that glenn youngkin has an america first, virginia first bend today that is going to put families first, put parents first. that is what this is about. this race is not about national politics. glen youngkin made the case that the race is going to be about virginia parents and virginia families. that is the important thing to remember. it is not people that, it is about policies. glenn youngkin has focused on the policies that will impact families like lowering taxes, getting rid of the grocery tax on food. stuart: pari

has at all his stops defending his record as governor, but tried his best to link his opponent glen youngkinthe entire campaign about touting the trump agenda. youngkin accepted the endorsement of president trump but done so at a certain scans. the former president hold as telerally but not in person. youngkin is not facing in the event. youngkin is trying to take example of a slump in the polls. biden won her by 10 points but to some extent, funny enough history is on his side. when one party wins the white house the other party, going back like 40 years, almost always wins here in virginia the next year. these numbers go back to 2,000. gorge bush, republican wins. democrat wins in virginia. bush wins re-election. democrat wins. president obama wins. then a republican wins. there is one exception to this which is actually kind of funny, terry mcauliffe in 2012 when president obama won re-election he won here as a democrat. he is trying to do it again. but the momentum is clearly on young kin's side. we'll watch it throughout the day. all the public polls making this is very close race. the

elizabeth: hispanics voted for glen youngkin by a nine point margin. kin is racist when minorities voted for youngkin. the far left squad is silent on the rise of black conservative winsome sears for her historic victory in virginia as lieutenant governor. she is making this essential point, americans are trying to get through to a tone deaf media for months. we're not a racist country. focus on kitchen table issues. watch new lieutenant governor winsome sears. watch. >> what i want to say to black people, asian people, whatever, minorities, latinos, whatever, don't allow political parties to divide us. don't allow political parties to use whatever grievances that have been historically against you to force you to look at them as the savior so that they can swoop in and think they're saving you when all they're doing is pitting one race against the other, one race against the other. you know. so the democrats, they really don't have the solutions and so when you look at the democrat-run cities, the democrat-ran counties, states, they're losing. the neig

and on the republican side, i mean there is no denying that glen youngkin was fearmongerring about criticalace theory played a roll and honestly, this is where republicans really excel. they set the agenda. they know how to play the gaism. because a year ago if you asked anyone what critical race theory was they would be like i have no idea what you are talking about, but if you ask them now they will be like i still have no idea what you are talking about, but i'm terrified of it. and it is not just critical race theory. republicans have been doing this for decades and they are great at it. every thing america fights about, they started, only cultural war, the transpeople want to use your bathroom, the gays want to defile marriage, there say war on christmas, they're trying to kill santa. >> dead people and illegal immigrants are voting. they are smart, but you need to understand that if they can set the agenda, then they can choose the fight. like if i'm going to fight floyd mayweather i'm not going to choose him in the ringk i will choose to fight him in a speeling bee, yen, then we soo

. >>> gop officials around the country are taking note after glen youngkin's success in virginia anding me now, author of nation and news article is "virginia and new jersey voters like their trumpism without trump". let's start with defining trumpism. you said, i'm defining trumpism in the same terms the former president himself first outlined when he road down that trump tower escalator in 2015 -- anti-institutional cold-blooded identity politics shrouded in bigotry and racism. you believe they learn from the former president's example, what was that example? what was that lesson, i should say? >> that lesson is that unfortunately is a very powerful political message. i think that trump made great hay not by delivering on policy, not by bringing people together, but by trying to frighten people into supporting him because he was going to stand in the way of these big oppressive institutions one by elites that were oppressing his supporters. he not only touched the third rail that the gop had been dancing around for decades, he climbed on it and danced on it and did it for four year

for example, republican glen youngkin's development on terry mcauliffe was based on something that was completely made up. it not being taught in schools in virginia or, quite frankly, anywhere else. but it certainly worked for youngkins and republicans are sure to follow his playbook next fall. his free embrace of a made-up issue is becoming a running theme for republican politics these days. no matter how wild a republican gets, there really seems to be no consequences for them. missouri senator josh hawley gave impassioned speech about how the world is supposed to be giving us a world beyond men, whatever that's supposed to me. >> when you look at the biden, the brandon administration in terms of -- >> wow. colorado congresswoman also got in on the action wearing a dress with a slogan printed on it. it was a hand fisted effort. aoc's tax the rich, the dress that she wore was to raise awareness of an actual policy to help the middle and work being class. all your dress did was raise awareness of how little class you actually have. and there's florida congressman matt gates, upset he

here in this very swing area, you can't help but feeling the wind blowing in the direction of glen youngkin on this issue of education, then you have the history of virginia tending to vote for the party that is out of the white house. one last factoid that is really instructive. since 1851, there has only been one virginia governor reelected. very few have actually attempted to do what terry mcauliffe is doing, chris. >> heidi przybyla, katie beck, thanks to you. >>> good to see both of you. we were animatedly talking before we went on the air. what's your sense. you're plugged into the republican party. you're a supporter of glenn youngkin, though you haven't been for trump lately. >> a youngkin/mcauliffe supporter. glenn grew up there so he had much stronger support than republicans traditionally. what i'm seeing is suburban republicans, both men and women, are kind of coming back to it's safe to vote republican again with glenn. how much is that going to be? i'm feeling good because this is a candidate who, from my standpoint, is somebody who does not support donald trump and doesn't se

. >>> gop officials around the country are taking note after glen youngkin's success in virginia andsey. my next guest says it's all because the former president was not on the ballot. good to see you, tim. he's the author, by the way of "trump nation." and his news article is virginia and new jersey voters like their trumpm without trump. okay, tim, again, hello. so let's start with defining trumpism. this is what you write. you said i'm defining trumpism in the same terms the former president himself first outlined when he rode down that trump tower escalator in 2016. anti-institutional, anti-elite backlash wedded to cold-blooded us versus them politics often shrouded in bigotry and racism. what was that example? what was that lesson, i should say? >> that lesson is that unfortunately is a very powerful political message. i think that trump made great hay not by delivering on policy, not by bringing people together but by trying to frighten people into supporting him because he was going to stand in the way of these big, oppressive institutions run by elites that were oppressing hi

in virginia, glen youngkin edged past mcauliffe, flipping another state that biden won by a sizable margins big board. he is following it all for us. we're going to get the latest from steve in moments. also right now these big races putting an even bigger microscope on biden's agenda and the dialing up the urgency among democrats to get something, anything done. in the last 15 minutes, we got a major update

nothing thing we saw in that virginia election, was that the republican, now the governor elect, glen youngkin, he made a choice in run big keeping donald trump at arm's length, never appearing with him. he outperformed trump in every county in the state. do you think another lesson from that election is that trump is still a drag on the gop, republicans should run by running -- you know, keeping him at arm's length? >> i think what the governor elect did in virginia that was very wise is he recognized that silent voice that president trump tapped into and still continues to listen to and continues to be a major force representing. and it's bigger than president trump in my humble. . it's that voice of the forgotten man and woman back home. that's where i think the lesson from that election on the republican side comes from. and so we'll continue to work with president trump. obviously, i supported president trump when he ran, one of the first eight to endorse him, and his policies resonated with the american people. the style, obviously, people had a different opinion on that. but i will tell
