stakes made clear when president biden stumped for him in the final hours last night. the president drew a pitch between larry elder and donald trump. >> this year, the lead republican running for governor is a closest thing to a trump clone that i've ever seen in your state. can you imagine him being governor of this state? >> no! >> you can't let that happen. >> joining me now, nbc's jake ward in huntington beach and steve patterson in sacramento, where the governor will be tonight when these returns come in. jake, you're in orange county where supporters will be relying on big republican area, big population area. how's the turnout seem to be? what can you tell based on mail-in voting?
