new jersey as well. regardless of what the final outcome is in new jersey or whether he stays the course. in 2009, we saw a race in virginia that went to the republicans and it was a harbinger of things to come. it was ahead to big wins for th republicans in the midterm. i think you could be seeing tha this time, but we could see joe biden take and triangulate much like bill clinton did when newt gingrich had the big movement back then. i think we are just seconds away potentially from hearing from the man who is now the governor elect a virginia littl bit of warm up here. glenn youngkin getting ready to take the stage great local pastor of a major church here i virginia, he has been one of those who has spoken on a lot o these tough issues. the loudoun county school board issue he has been politically
can t get across the finish line . we have yet to see that and we have yet to see where this new jersey race ends up no matter what happens in new jersey, the message has been sent virginia is a republican state now and i was ten points to joe biden s favor just a year and a half ago . i want to point out, we have heard him say this quite a bit on the campaign trail, but just a reminder of the lease had ten months ago our first internal poll i had a 2 percent name id with a 3 percent margin of error , he says we ve been focusing on the issues most important to virginia and he really has been very successful he became known for wearing those sweet fast and walking around and talking to parents, talking about kids and really trying to connect with people, but, you guys hear him say that he was polling basically could have been at negative 1 percent based on the first internal polls and he s not a politician we didn t know who he was, so h
example is one very generally i has gone red and tonight it looks like ciattarelli has pulled out a win. they re is a lot to watch, lots of similar things we ve seen in other places that didn t get much attention because nobody thought it would be close very. i want to read something, he says virginia is opposed trump gop could look like engaged in the culture, focused on issues that matter to parents and families, mobilized, fighting for and crucially not revolving around one single personality like donald trump. this is the way forward brett, what lessons do you think regardless of how this turns out , the fact that this is such a right tight race in a place where president biden won by te points a year ago. what do you think is a lesson they will take from virginia, particularly new jersey. no matter what happens republicans ran well tonight in states where ten points for joe biden in virginia, big wins, 15 points in new jersey, and we will see what happens here in
calling this race for glenn glenn youngkin. he will be the governor elect o virginia. what is amazing is it looked like it was going to tip earlie in the night. we had to wait until some of those big places as bill described them came in with all their final votes great if you look at where he went from the beginning, and he was not counted and in this race at all. dealing with a former governor who had a democratic machine in the state that joe biden won by ten points, he was not well known, he was way back in the pack in fact he had to work har to win a primary, and then he managed to figure out a way to campaign on the issues that people in virginia cared about and that is what one him this race. he turned this tide really in the past few weeks, i would say within a month that this really turned for glenn youngkin his
