GOING TO BE ALONG A BUSY NIGHT
FOR HIM.
GLAD HE COULD STOP BY.
NECK AND NECK RACE BETWEEN TEN BETWEEN TERRY McAULIFFE THE
BETWEEN TERRY McAULIFFE THE
DEMOCRAT AND GLENN YOUNGKIN IS
CLOSE.
McAULIFFE IS TRYING TO TIE
YOUNGKIN TO FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WATCH.
>> GUESS ALGONQUIN DUNCAN IS
FINISHING HIS COMPLAINT?
HE IS DOING AN EVENT WITH
DONALD TRUMP HERE IN VIRGINIA.
I AM HERE WITH YOU AND THEY HAVE
TRUMP OVER THERE.
THINK ABOUT THIS FOR SECOND,
FOLKS.
IT IS SENSITIVE FOR US WITH
TRUMP HERE IN VIRGINIA BECAUSE
OF CHARLOTTESVILLE.
>> Harris: HE’S EITHER
DELUSIONAL OR LYING.
YOU CAN MAKE THE CALL YOURSELF.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS NOT IN
VIRGINIA AND NEVER CAMPAIGNED
WITH YOUNGKIN SIDE-BY-SIDE.
HE DID MAKE THE CASE FOR HIM ON
A TELE- RALLY.
MEANWHILE, YOUNGKIN ATTRACTED
BIG CROWD THAT IS RALLY LAST
NIGHT WHERE HE MADE HIS FINAL
PITCH TO VOTERS.
>> I WAS A KID THAT WAS WATCHING
DISHES AND TAKING OUT TRASH AND
I WAS 15 YEARS OLD AND I’M
RUNNING TO FILL AN OFFICE THAT
WAS HELD BY PATRICK HENRY AND
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
AND I’M GETTING A CHANCE TO DO
THIS AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
CONSIDERING HIRING ME ON THAT
DAY, I’M GOING TO BE OVERWHELMED
WITH A SENSE OF OPPORTUNITY AND
OVERWHELMED WITH THE SENSE OF
PRIVILEGE TO GO WORK FOR ALL OF
YOU AS THE 74TH GOVERNOR OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
LET’S GO WIN THIS.
LET’S WIN IT.
>> Harris: BRET BAIER.
HERE HE IS BEING ACCUSED OF
BEING WITH DONALD TRUMP LAST
NIGHT AND WE KNOW THAT THAT IS
INCREDIBLY UNTRUE AND ALIKE.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE PERSON WHO
WOULD BE PERHAPS "ON THE BALLOT"
IS ON PETABYTE IN AND THAT’S A
NIGHTMARE FOR McAULIFFE.
>> Bret: GOOD AFTERNOON AND
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THE PRESIDENT’S APPROVAL RATINGS
ARE ONE OF THE THINGS HE’S BEEN
FACING AN ISSUE OF EDUCATION IS
ANOTHER ONE.
IT’S INTERESTING TO SEE THAT HIS
CLOSING ARGUMENT INCLUDED A
PITCH BY RANDI WEINGARTEN WHO IS
THE HEAD OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST
TEACHERS UNION, THE AMERICAN
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS.
IT APPEARS TONE-DEAF BECAUSE
YOU’VE A LOT OF THESE PARENTS
UPSET WITH THE TEACHERS UNIONS.
IT IS AN INDICATION THAT
McAULIFFE REALIZES HE IS LOST
ON THE ISSUE AND HE NEEDS TO
FIRE UP THE UNIONS TO GET VOTERS TO THE POLLS AND IS GETTING
I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO
BREAK ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
A LOT CAN CHANGE JUST BY WHO
SHOWS UP TODAY.
>> Harris: IT’S INTERESTING.
IT’S BETWEEN NINE, SECONDS AGO,
SENATOR TED CRUZ WAS IN FOCUS
WITH ME AND HE MADE THE POINT
THAT IT’S SQUEAKY TYPE HERE AND
IN NEW JERSEY WHERE IT’S
TIGHTENING.
EVEN IF THAT IS THE CASE,
DEMOCRATS DID NOT JUMP ON THE
RIGHT ISSUE AND BY THE TIME THEY
DID, IT WAS TOO LATE.
IS IT TOO LATE MOVING FORWARD
PARTICULARLY FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN?
>> Mollie: WHAT’S INTERESTING
ABOUT THESE RACES IS HOW TIGHT
THEY ARE.
VIRGINIA IS A PRETTY DEMOCRAT
STATE.
AS YOU NOTED, JOE BIDEN WON BY
TEN POINTS.
THAT SHOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT FOR
McAULIFFE.
HE’S A PREVIOUS GOVERNOR AND HE
IS NOT A CRAZY CANDIDATE.
HE IS RUNNING IN A STATE THAT
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN A
CAKEWALK.
THE FACT THAT IT IS CLOSE IS NOT
JUST AN INDICTMENT OF THE BIDEN
AGENDA AND THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL
OF THE PRESIDENCY, THE SENATE,
IN THE HOUSE AND THEIR POLICIES
ARE VERY UNPOPULAR WITH PEOPLE.
IT’S INDICATIVE OF WHAT’S GOING
TO HAPPEN IN A LANDSLIDE.
EITHER McAULIFFE PULLED OUT AN
EARLIER YOUNGKIN PULLED OUT
NEARLY COME OVER LOOKING AT
SOMETHING NEXT YEAR THAT’S GOING
TO BE MONSTROUS.
>> Harris: WHEN YOU HEAR THE
LIE AT THE LECTERN AND MAY BE BY
THE CANDIDATE HIMSELF.
SOMEONE HANDED IT A PIECE OF
PAPER THAT I DON’T KNOW IF
ANYBODY CAN CONJURE DONALD TRUMP
DONALD TRUMP.
WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU ABOUT THE
RACE AND HOW POLITICALLY
DANGEROUS?
>> Kayleigh: VERY POLITICALLY
DANGEROUS.
HE’S BEEN FACT-CHECKED ON THE
NUMBER OF CHILDREN WITH COVID-19
AND HOSPITALS BUT HE IS
REPEATING A LIE.
IT WAS CALLED OUT OF THIS ONE ON
FAULKNER FOCUS BY POLITICAL
PLAYBOOK THIS MORNING.
I’VE AN OPERATIVE WHO WORKED FOR
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
FOUR YEARS AGO.
HE SAID THE REPUBLICAN
ENTHUSIASM FOR NOTHING THEN LIKE
IT IS NOW.
HE WAS SHOCKED BY BY THE CROWD
THEMES.
THE ENTHUSIASM IS UNMATCHABLE.
THIS IS FROM OUR OWN GUY BENSON.
WE WERE SINGING THEIR STANDS IN
STARK CONTRAST TO THE CROWDS
McAULIFFE IS DRYING.
EVEN WHEN HE BROUGHT THE SITTING
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
THE AREA.
I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE ON THE
GROUND THERE THAT THE CROWD WAS
THE SAME THAT PRAMILA JAYAPAL
WITHDRAWN BY HIMSELF.
THE LOUDOUN COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
WAS SEVERAL TIMES THE SIZE OF McAULIFFE WAS WAITING FOR
McAULIFFE WAS WAITING FOR
YOUNGKIN TO TAKE THE STAGE.
WHILE McAULIFFE HAS BOUNDLESS
ENERGY, HIS AUDIENCES WERE
LISTLESS.
McAULIFFE WERE TO MY STOMACH
YOUNGKIN WERE LARGE.
>> Harris: AND THE CROWDS WERE
NOT DICTATING WHO’S GOING TO THE
POLL ON THAT DATE.
WE KNOW THAT NORTH OF 1 MILLION
PEOPLE EARLY VOTED.
I’M READING THAT MOST OF THEM
WOULD’VE BEEN DEMOCRATS BASED ON
WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATS INTENDED VOTERS.
THAT WOULD MEAN INDEPENDENTS AND
REPUBLICANS, IT MAY BE IN THIS
INSTANCE THE CARDS DO MATTER.
>> Kayleigh: AND THAT’S WHY
THIS MAKES IT SO EXCITING.
ALL OF THIS WATCH IS WHAT WILL
BE WELL WEATHER FOR THE REST OF
THE COUNTRY.
I WOULD LIKE TO DRAW VIEWERS
ATTENTIONS TO A COUPLE OF TOPICS
IN IT.
THEIR ALTERNATE THEORIES ABOUT
WHETHER YOUNGKIN NEEDS THE HEAVY
BLUE SUBURBS THERE IN NORTHERN
VIRGINIA.
ONE THEORY IS THAT HE DOES NOT.
TO YOUR POINT, HE’S CARRYING THE
SOUTH AND PEOPLE ARE COMING OUT
IN DROVES.
HE MIGHT NOT NEED THAT
TRADITIONALLY BLUE AREA.
THE SECOND THEORY IS THAT WITH
EDUCATION AS A TOP PRIORITY
THERE FOR VOTERS OF VIRGINIA, HE
IS INDEED FLIPPING THOSE AREAS.
THAT IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT
FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH FOR THE
SECOND TOPIC IS ONE OF BLACK AND
HISPANIC VOTES IN VIRGINIA.
THEY ARE CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF
VOTERS OBVIOUSLY THEY
RESPECTIVELY MAKE UP 20 20 PRESE
A 10% IN THE TRUNK COMING IN
TODAY, BLACK VOTES WERE
HEAVILY IN FAVOR OF YOUNGKIN IN
LATIN AND HIS TINO WERE IN FAVOR
OF YOUNGKIN. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT TODAY.
HOW IT PLAYS OUT TODAY.
>> Harris: ACTIVATE.
YOUNGKIN CANNOT STOP TALKING
ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP.
EVERY TURN ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL.
TAKE A LOOK >> A COLUMN
DONALD TRUMP AND KHAKIS.
>> WEARS DONALD TRUMP?
’S PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO HIM SIX
TIMES.
MY OPPONENT AS A TRUMP WANT TO
BE. THIS IS ABOUT VIRGINIA.
THIS IS ABOUT VIRGINIA.
>> Bret: HE MADE IT ABOUT
TRUMP.
PRESIDENT BIDEN MENTIONED TRUMP
IN HIS SPEECH WITH McAULIFFE
20 TIMES.
THERE FLIES STOMACH FLYERS
LINKING YOUNGKIN AND TRUMP.
IT WAS A BIG PART OF THE RACE.
>> Harris: WHITE?
>> Bret: WHY?
THEY SENSE THAT HE IS NOT A GOOD
FACTOR FOR SUBURBAN VIRGINIA AND
THAT IS BEEN TRUE IN THE PAST.
IN THE LAST ELECTION WAS BY TEN
POINTS, AS YOU MENTION.
HE LOST 520,000 VOTES IN
VIRGINIA.
YOU LOOK AT NORTHERN VIRGINIA
AND YOU SEE WHERE YOUNGKIN IS
CAMPAIGNING.
HE IS CAMPAIGNING IN NORTHERN
VIRGINIA.
IN LOUDOUN COUNTY.
HE’S GETTING THE BIG CROWDS AND
THE PLACES WHERE DONALD TRUMP
LOST BY MORE THAN HALF A MILLION
VOTES.
>> Harris: AND THAT’S WHY ASK
WHY.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PAST IT ONLY
SERVES YOU TO LEARN FROM IT
IT.
YOU’VE TO SHOW UP TO TODAY’S
WORLD.
BE FIVE AND THE EDUCATION
PROBLEM ACROSS PARTY LINES.
IT HITS HOME WITH PARENTS.
THEIR REACTION TO THAT EDUCATION
STUFF AND ALL OF THOSE ISSUES PEERED THE DOD’S ACTIONS AND HOW
PEERED THE DOD’S ACTIONS AND HOW
THE YOUNGKIN CAMPAIGN REACTED TO
>> Harris: I WONDERED ABOUT
THIS.
WE WERE WONDERING ABOUT THE TEN
POINTS AT BIDEN’S WON.
IN LOUDOUN COUNTY, HE WON BY 15.
IT GETS WORSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT
WHERE THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
WAS LAST NIGHT.
>> Bret: AND HE’S BEEN THERE A
LOT.
HE’S BEEN IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA A
LOT.
FAIRFAX COUNTY’S ANOTHER ONE
WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HE’S BEEN
CAMPAIGNING THERE.
AND IF IT HOLDS,
NORTHAMPTON COUNTY AND
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, THAT HAVE
VOTED TEN TIMES FOR THE RIGHT
CANDIDATE WHO WON THE
GUBERNATORIAL RACE AT SPIRIT
