not exactly a surprise the university of virginia's larry, who says, virginia is no longer a toss up-state >> so would you expect a democrat to be elected when there is a republican president, particularly, when the gop president is unpopular. and he is popular in virginia you know, he is popular in red states but he is not popular in blue states and virginia is blue. >> and couple the virginia race with floater win for democrats, in new jersey's gubernatorial election host of other contests. >> beat one of virginia's longest serving gop members in its house of delegates becoming the first openly transgender person in the country to win a seat in a state legislature. but there are challenges ahead for democrats. ralph northam may have won but had to cut offer his own victory speech after being heckled by protesters on the left. upset about his opposition, to sanctuary cities. northam eventually returned to the stage to deliver his victory address and to just put this in perspective, it was one year ago today that president trump you know, stunned the political worlds and won the white hous

university of virginia. good to have all of you on this evening. heading to the polls, selecting a new governor tomorrow. the contest there has largely resolved around president trump. he tweeted this today. state has been terrible. if you vote gillaspie tomorrow it will come roaring back. can you read anything to you how this election might play out? >> i can tell you all the recent polls here have had president trump in the mid to upper 30s. so that is not a good place to be if you want your governor candidate to win. i still think -- is in the lead and more likely to win than gulepspy. gillaspie seized on the issues trump wanted even though he's been unwilling to bring trum in. this is the first time since 1973 that the sitting president has not come in for his party's candidate and not campaigned. trump wouldn't have it. >> given this is a blue state, obviously poll numbers for trump are not great there. it wouldn't have been beneficial for trump to go in there and campaign with him. that's why he kept him out. gillaspie has done well to focus on issues he felt were positive with his base and really jen up the republican voters there in virginia. i'm going to be going there tomorrow and cas
