not sure why that shape came in there. let me try to do that again. that was good, right? i don t think i could do that again if i tried. every now and then, i communicate with my but come down here. if we go back to the race for governor in 2017. you see that blue. yeah. so you come back to 2021. again, it s early but it s what you watch. right? youngkin has to rewrite the recent map for republicans in virginia. so that would mean are you competitive in virginia beach with about 20% of the vote in, the answer for now is yes. we don t know how this is going to play out. but this is why we are watching. over in chesapeake, we just talked to joe johns. you add up all the math there, again 6%. early in the night, the youngkin campaign you are thinking okay, we are starting to lay down some markers. early in the night doesn t matter. we have lived through too many of these. every vote counts but we have to watch it play out. but as you watch that fill in red right here, you are encou
fairfax. once, a reliably republican suburb. again, 45% of the estimated vote. let s watch throughout the night because you get some of the early voting, then you get the day-of voting. but terry mcauliffe jumping to an early lead. you look at that and you think okay that s good for the democrat. you go back in time to the last governor s race, though, and you see ralph northam winning the governor s race four years ago had a bigger margin there and if you look at the 2020 presidential race, click it up here in loudoun county, joe biden had a blowout. and so, that s one of the kwis we are going to watch tonight is glenn youngkin running stronger than donald trump. donald trump last year. ed gillespie four years ago. is he showing that republicans can make inroads in the suburbs? can t answer that question, yet. at the moment, he is competitive. if you pull out and look, again, this is the major population center. the loudoun county is the fastest-growing county in the commonwealth of v
alert for you right now. more votes are coming in from the commonwealth of virginia and the competitive gubernatorial race there. let us look at what the voters have said so far. with about a third of the vote in, 33% of the vote in, republican glenn youngkin is up with 556,912 votes. he has 54.2% of the vote. roughly, 92,323 votes ahead of democrat terry mcauliffe. he has 45.1% of the vote. the votes are still coming in, though. it remains a very competitive race. there are still more than 2 million votes that we need to count. we are closing in on the next critical round of votes that could send a message to president biden and the nation about the political climate right now. voting is about to end in new jersey. home of the second marquee governor s race tonight. murphy is the democrat. he is the incumbent governor. he is seeking re-election to a second term against former-republican state lawmaker jack ciattarelli.
happens in this governor s race? and we can also tell you we spent the day over at one of the precincts a heavily african-american precinct. i talked to a lot of folks there. interesting fact that a lot of the people really didn t know that much about glenn youngkin but they said they were voting for terry mcauliffe because they knew his name. back to you. all right. interesting. joe johns with some actual votes coming in there. john, and these are just you know, just a couple precincts but it shows a strong a strong showing by the republican glenn youngkin. it shows number one, yes, in a democratic area. it also shows the values just having reporters on the ground. again, this is not dispositive. these are two of the precincts he mentioned where he had the firm vote numbers. glenn young kin ahead by a couple 300 votes with change there. again, this is in chesapeake. they haven t officially reported them yet so you still see the map blank. if you go back to the last governo
perform joe biden, under perform the current governor ralph northam, and still win this race which is why you don t overemphasize them now. but that s what we are going to watch throughout the night. it is a test. are republicans is the trump base turning out in a campaign where the republican candidate kept trump at arm s length? that s test number one for glenn youngkin. he cannot win this race, unless he gets all of the trump base but even if he gets all the trump base, it s not enough. he has to make inroads here, here, and here. early indications are he is in play. he has to draw a straight flush but he is not out of the game yet. getting some good cards. he is getting some good cards. we are standing by for more results out of the commonwealth of virginia. polling places are about to close in the other governor s race being decided tonight north of nus new jersey. we will have much more ahead. stay with us. anti-inflammatoryl for powerful arthritis pain relief. voltaren, the
