glenn youngkin is more like trump than he cares to admit. the santos -- ron desantis, there is very little on which he and trump disagree in terms of policy and style. desantis goes beyond trump in some ways when you look at things like grabbing some undocumented immigrants in texas and putting them on a plane to martha's vineyard. trump had never thought of that. and then two months before the election going out with your election fraud unit, clearly embarrassed to be arresting these voters, former felons who had been encouraged to register to vote and now they are being taken to jail. so as -- so glenn youngkin tries to be or look more moderate but desantis is in your face. jerry: i am glad you raised it glenn youngkin because in the republicans who will now be under pressure from the party to run in 2024, even though he has only been governor for a year, he strikes me as the kind of guy who is susceptible to that kind of pressure, to be honest. there is a search underway and parts of the republican party to find the mainstream bob dole ty

glenn youngkin got elected because he ran a smart race.t the needs of the state and kids being kept out of the close rooms in covid and ran on an education choice platform. trump was not a factor. it was the model republicans said going forward candidates want to run away from trump but win in purple states you need to do. he can't let anyone get credit. >> by the way, he won. >> right. >> he's in office. right. and trump is not. it's remarkable. >> do you think because he apologized to nancy pelosi. he apologized to nancy pelosi after he made an ill considered remark, you know, and he wrote her a hand written note. am i -- >> he sees that as weak. he didn't like the fact he did it. >> everybody is talking about youngkin running for president. >> that's part of it. >> clearly, he's one of the other people listed on the potentials to run in 2024 but glenn youngkin was smart not to take the bait. any republican who has been against trump realizes don't take the bait or you're going to be served up as a fillet on the dinner table in short ord

glenn youngkin came up. there are 1000 series about the youngkin race. i think what happened this year, candidate quality matters. glenn youngkin one in virginia because he was the best candidate. he is a good candidate. people have all of these theories on why he one. he was a compelling candidate with an effective message. we saw last night how much candidate quality matters. we have gotten so used to twitter and hard-core partisanship. you cannot get away from, like tutor -- dixson, that seemed like easy race for the republicans, but she fumbled it. derrell: it turns out, elections on the left, you can get beaten too. andrew: absolutely. these bloody shirts, people were not interested in them. they wanted results. candidate quality is an overlooked story. it is something to think about in the next cycle. pres. biden: from the youngkin point, coming out of the election -- bethany: from the youngkin point, coming out of the election, bringing it back to education specifically, it was like, let's go hard-core on all the crt, andy lgbtq, pro-parent -- ant

and that is where a ron desantis or glenn youngkin comes in. they are at least going to give them a look. that is half the party. the other half begs the question how many people get into the race? if it is desantis and youngkin versus term, it is a completely different race than if it is a dozen other people against trump. >> we saw tom cotton early before even the voting started or the voting stops, saying he was dropping out, that he was on that long list with pompeo and a bunch of people who were going to audition to be the maga without the trump, in more popular stick working class oriented maybe a little more protectionism or isolationism, and cotton bowed out. >> there still is some worry and fears of donald trump about people who may be in the same lane as him. somebody might have to do it. the biggest question is for desantis. back to the youngkin question, you are going to get portray to some extent as the non-term candidate. can you keep a foot in the trump world? the sentence looks like he has a better mix of having a foot into trum

glenn youngkin a year ago won this state. flipped everybody on its head in virginia. all of these races that you see here on the house side that are considered to be key races youngkin did better than than trump versus biden 12 months prior. taking a sample now to 2022. the majority wave how high is the wave? we have not gotten to this point yet. a few more races to check in. up here in rhode island, it is fung. republicans love this guy. always happy and going for it. they were big on him beating seth. he is trailing by 3 points. if fung goes down that's a big disappointment to republicans who are trying to run up the margins. >> it is rhode island. >> it is, bret. we never talk about it. the same thing for connecticut. the west part of connecticut. george logan. african-american taking on haye. has had this seat for a number of years. also an african-american woman. these races are the kind that republican leadership said if we win in rhode island and connecticut, you will be looking at a red wave. right now on the east coast we haven't seen that. >> nice job. let's

if donald trump is concerned about glenn youngkin or ron desantis into the race the best way to fend off opponents is to run a smart campaign focused on the issues. one of the most important differences, i think, in the platform he ran on last time and what he is talking about last night, this issue of banning lawmakers. i think he should probably adelphia ministration officials a lifetime man them becoming lobbyist. it's kryptonite. it causes people to lose their minds. but it is a smart outsider sort of thing and you can get -- there are difficulties in how you pull something like that off but it is very smart. it shows he is on the outside and the more your opponents are clutching their pearls and pulling their garments if you are focused on the issues. if trump is focused on the issues and not playing those games he will do very well. >> bill: the question becomes who works for him, who is on his staff, how do his kids feel? a great write-up, ivanka trump says i love my father very much. this time around i choose to prioritize my young children and the private life we're creating

and blaming glenn youngkin, he believes the media coverage of him has been too favorable and positiveain, it's his personal grievances that really animate this president, not the idea that mitch mcconnell might not get to be majority leader after all. >> yeah, nothing will show ron desantis and glenn youngkin like a hastily organized election. ashley, intrepid reporter, thank you as always, ashley. >> thank you. >>> we'll get more on the election, and what effect it has on the doj probes, that is probes, plural. >>> plus, the democrats who faced the forces of trumpism and beat them. michigan's newly elected democratic governor gretchen whitmer how she did it and how democrats should do it. she joins us live, coming up next. program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month. i'm

one year after glenn youngkin beat terry mcauliffe on them education issue so many parents are stillalking about the education issue. that is also involved a little bit of abortion involved as we well. but these democrats and the four tossup states are all well under 50%. i believe the uncommitted voters will blow against the party in power go against incompetence in this case that in the democrats and favor the republicans in all if not most of the tossup states. >> mark penn, do you agree, although there are several seats and many seats that seem to be tossup in the senate do you agree with kelli and that they will tend to trend towards republicans will take the majority. >> i agree with kelli and for the most part. i think is more likely to be in the 51 - 52 range. i do think it looks like the republicans are going to get across the finish line here in terms of the senate but a lot of these races are within the margin of error, she is right that the momentum generally has been on the republican side but they've had trouble eating past the finish line. the republican base and a lot

by the way, glenn youngkin, not asian. what because that say?ook at the conservative media now saying relitigating the past and airing these kinds of grievances is yesteryear, it doesn't work. this election in many cases, not all, but in many cases just proved that, and the republicans have to move on. and it wasn't just the post saying desantis is defuture. by the way, to call him a mediocre republican or -- howard: average. liz: he flipped miami-dade county. howard: it was a huge win. >> and that's impressive. that's impressive, and democrats and republicans should look at that and say, you know what? he didn't get down in the mud with trump. even the day before the election, trump is trying to criticize desantis. if you want to win or not. howard: trump said on truth social that election night was somewhat disappointing but not for him personally, and then he ripped the kiss honest fake -- dishonest fake news because he said many of the people i endorsed went on to sixtily, and the media with, they are truly the enemy of the people. sounds li

state area did there are number of surrogates in the republican side, ron desantis was here, glenn youngkinit has been a parade of folks but the biggest ones as we have talked about, biden and trump, have not been here. host: let me invite the viewers to join in on the discussion as we focus on the badger state of wisconsin. part of our battleground series, we focused already this week on pennsylvania and georgia. today, the focus is on wisconsin. here's how you can join the conversation, democrats (202) 748-8000, republicans, (202) 748-8001, independents, (202) 748-8002. and as we have been doing all week long, a special line for the state we are focusing on, wisconsin residents call in at (202) 748-8003. scott bauer, the associate press, with us for the next 15 to 20 minutes on the "washington journal." as folks are calling in, we focus so much on the governor and the senate races around the country when we do these series. what are the down ballot races that are most important getting attention in a state that we may not be talking about as much in d.c.? guest: there is one congressional

glenn youngkin took district 2 and swung it a total of 14 points in his direction.this area. similar to congressional district 7, right? this is spam berger's seat running against yellsly vega. still early here. different part of the state. this was a part of virginia that youngkin swung by 13 points. 12 months now we are talking about. biden goes, in takes it by six in this area. youngkin flips it the other way 7 points in a different direction now and it's a whole different ballgame republicans believe in this part of virginia. remember what they said from the beginning, this is your bellwether for majority in the house. this is the question about whether or not there is a red wave and this is the question as to how high that wave could or could not be. it's early. >> bret: it's early. hey, brit, what about these governors winning with big spreads? dewine we call with very little is competence, right? >> brit: yes, and it effects the senate races. in georgia, for example, brian kemp -- he is going to win it looks like. pretty confident about that. will he win and

you saw glenn youngkin do that as well. how much of that is important?dorsement as much as it is, you know, these are people in the party who have won on certain issues so it is not just some big name coming in to kind of prop you up by the shoulder pad but desantis wins on the issue consistently of i'm going to get things done that nobody expects. the cause way connecting sanibel. engineers i talked to months or a year. he got it done in less than 60 days and glenn youngkin on the parents' issue. why is that happening in the party and not necessarily across the aisle? >> the democrats were scaring, scolding voters. >> harris: what worked for them? >> i think abortion was a bigger issue at the ballot box than people anticipated. when you look at the overall polling abortion faded as a top issue compared to june, july and august. planned parenthood and pro-abortion groups spent over $4 hundred million. half a billion dollars. it was very important and they probably banked the votes early. when you ask people what is the most important issue abortion may f

glenn youngkin is the governor of virginia who joins me right now. going on down this florida, solid red now, right? >> well, good evening, jesse. and thank you for having me. and i think what we saw in florida was the result of great leadership from ron desantis and floridians rewarded him. and we saw that all over the country with republican governors who had done a great job leading out of 9 pandemic. that's what governor desantis did. i think this is all about results. and at the end of the day voters want their elected leaders to deliver results and they are a lot less inclined about making sure that they are either republicans or democrats whether they're delivering for him. that's exactly what ron desantis has done in florida and i think we will see it across the nation as we look at these final, final results where, you know, governor kemp in georgia and governor dewine in ohio and governor abbott in texas all had the exact same kinds of strong showings because they delivered results, particularly coming out of the pandemic. that's what we sa

but this time he's attacking ron desantis and glenn youngkin, successful republicans. you know, one of the few bright spots of the last two years, and people i think even his own supporters aren't quite there with that. they want to know why. sometimes it seems donald trump would rather defeat his enemies in the republican party than have republicans win if he's not holding the spotlight. and i don't think his voters are there. i think they are shifting. they don't hate him, but they -- more and more of them think sadly his time has passed and they want a winner. >> sandra: very interesting analysis. bill, good to have you on set with us. thanks so much, bill. john. >> john: retired general keith kellogg on the phone with us, former national security adviser to former vice president pence and fox news contributor and the news we are following at this hour, general, is of course reports and the pentagon says it's aware of the reports, but cannot corroborate them, this a couple missiles fired by russia at ukraine somehow strayed into polish air space, landed in poland, k

the week before the election, and the republican cruel responses by donald trump and others, glenn youngkinlogized later. that might have had an influence on boosting the sort of this is intolerable, the democracy factor, the civility factor. >> yeah, andrea, i mean something did change in the race the last week, week and a half. i don't know if it was the attack on paul pelosi or others. even our nbc news poll found that democrats ended up increasing their enthusiasm. was that just natural kind of coming back, particularly even after a lot of the reports about remember going into the last week or two, the story was republicans are the ones in the driver's seat. it the pelosi attack, was it that democrats were more motivated. democrats did turn out, which is one of the ways you end up not only potential losses in a midterm but end up doing as well as they ended up doing. something was certainly pointing their direction the last week, week and a half of the election. >> mark murray as always, david wasserman, thanks so much. stay close by, both of you guys. >>> and deposition day, donald tru

leader of the republican party continues to attack popular elected republican officials like glenn youngkinis, that his popular and that the party itself will move away from him. he eve seep him and to the extend too you look at these mid pierre-emile perlumt on what he and and can't do, and, yeah, can i see republicans and i've heard from republicans that are moving away, the most important thing that trump is in charge of the republican party, not that the republican party is a governing party. the question is do we want to try to win a national election? the republicans will win the house popular vote but the distribution of vote is skewed a little bit because of how we do in some of the safe districks. i'll just finish and then you, ron. it's obvious he backed into the presidency with fewer involvements lost thenous '18 and lost white house in '20 and lost the senate in the georgia runoffs in '21. his candidates in the senate and in the house suburban areas got shellacked. what more empirical evidence do you need to see that he's not had a national majority-maker. he's a minority style

and try to rally the forces and ultimately the turn of the year, are the likes of ron desantis, glenn youngkin, mike pence, are they going to wait and see how trump is able to coalesce support? donald trump is known to demand loyalty. to what extent is he going to get it in the months ahead or where some of these republicans, to what extent do others hold out as he pressures them to get on board with his 2024 run. >> vaughn along the waterway in florida. we'll see more of you tonight of course on nbc news now. >>> after the break, we're going to take you back overseas where there is news developing here. a statement from nato just coming into us. a nato official as it relates to the report. not confirmed by nbc news nor administration officials at this point, that perhaps a russian missile or rocket has landed in nato ally poland. back to that story in just a sec. y poland back to that story in just a sec. >> tech vo: this couple counts on their suv... as they travel for their small business. so when they got a chip in their windshield... they brought it to safelite... for a same-day in-shop r

ron desantis, who he already targeted on the stump and on social media to virginia governor, glenn youngkin and what he does still remains everybody's guess. he doesn't have a traditional campaign structure around him, and he is yet to hire staff, and there's no indication he will do the traditional tours to early states you might see after a normal presidential announcement, but then, for all of us who covered trump as a candidate and president, traditional campaigning was never his style. >> charlie, let's talk about the preparation for all of this, if we can, right? you have a lot of republicans speaking out after the midterms wanting to move on from the former president, and the massachusetts governor, and even his former vice president. let's take a listen to that and then we will talk on the other side. >> given all that you witnessed in the capitol on that day, this is a pretty straightforward question, a yes or a no. do you believe donald trump should ever be president again? >> david, i think that's up to the american people. but i think we'll have better choices in the future. >>

people have been gravitating to the republican party of virginia since glenn youngkin won. to me the best thing as a republican, as a partisan republican is win election and the best way to win-- and govern well, which i think governor youngkin has done. to do that, you've got to get a consensus candidate and the best way to do it is the best way you can do it whatever that may be. i happen to think that rank choice voting, whether it's instituted in a primary setting or in and convention setting, we did it because some states allow and it virginia doesn't, if you win elections and govern well, then you're really going to grow the party. if you nominate candidates that are not electable, don't appeal to a consensus group, you're not going to grow. and so to me it's really the process is just a means to an end. >> right, right, and that circles back to kevin's point in the first panel, we need people who are injured in governing. right. >> i've got a question on kindle -- on twitter, if i ignored that that would be very bad. this is for the group. this is from patrick james.

glenn youngkin has stratled the line -- straddled the line between trump world. then he went and campaigned vigorously for development. ga against abigail spanberger. you won that one. is that a case where a guy like youngkin is disqualifying himself? liz: i don't want to go down the list here today. i will just say i think everybody really has to think carefully about whom we are entrusting power with. paul: let's get to the committee. we are literally at that point where we've got days left in terms of the congressional calendar. what work is still being done by the january 6 committee? how extensive is this final report going to be? and what happens to all of these documents? you are -- are you going to release every single thing? there's lots of stuff that won't be in the final report. liz: we are very hard at work really around the clock in a combination of things. we have interviews that are still under way. we have work that's going on on the final report. the report itself, we really recognize and take seriously that it's an historic document, historic re

but because specifically you've voiced support for glenn youngkin, and glenn youngkin has been somebodyked about reversing certain things about gay marriage and grgs ay partnerships and gay benefits. what do you say to people who say, wait, why do we have this guy running the company? >> well, look, i think that my job as ceo of grindr is to build the best product i can build and help people connect to each other, and i'm very much focused on the future. i am a massive beneficiary of the incredible advances that this country's made in terms of gay rights and, obviously, we're not fully there yet. there are a lot of evil things that are happening in a lot of places towards people in our community, and grindr does a really good job in fighting those, and i hope to be at the forefront of making sure that a we continue to fight for the rights of our users and the lgbtq community at large. and, obviously, any politician who wants to take those rights away is, frankly, very wrong. but the flipside is this week 61 u.s. senators including 12 republicans voted to pass, you know, codify gay marri
