summer. affluent northern virginia suburbs, leslie vega is campaigning with glenn youngkin. i don t know about you, but i find myself having to go to three different grocery stores trying to make that dollar stretch. and i am tired of a government that no longer reflects the needs or the interests of we the people. vega is running against abigail spamburger, considered a toss-up, similar to other districts, suburban districts mostly affluent and typically blue or democratic seats. a short time ago, a high profile surrogate in a suburban new york district suggested republicans don t have the answers. here is the truth. we do have too much inflation
luria and wekton are three interesting case studies of if virginia is they re more educated voters, college-educated voters and other things, that will be interesting to watch if they can keep those seats blue. it s totally different electorate probably than the governor s race last year. right. you mentioned youngkin on parental rights, some people say he overdid it, but it worked for him especially in the northern virginia suburbs. all three of the republican candidates made a joint appearance on fox this morning. listen. first and foremost, it will be the economy. how can we get grocery prices down and gas prices down? i stands with parents and with their children, and unfortunately today s progressive liberal left party has lost touch with the voters when it comes to that issue. the parents rights is the biggest issue here in this district. besides the economy. obviously the economy is f forefront of everything. you see vega and cao closer to washington, d.c., the subu
just policing, feeling like it s still such a heavy issue, how do we talk about. it we are the solutions. we can maybe look to the states. i think, in virginia, governor glenn youngkin has a unique opportunity here. he is next to what is considered a very evoke democratic-led city, washington d.c.. it could be a lot of experiments of source. let s see how he handles. crimes let s hear we stuff on. it there s a lot of gang violence and whatnot emerging in the northern virginia suburbs. actual suburbs. and, the governor could have a real opportunity to do something here and show to the world that republicans could be tough on crime in a way that could be bipartisan. a lot of people are watching virginia, and of course glenn can in particular, i m sure glen desantis and maybe even trump. listen, the biden family, well, they know firsthand about pain and loss due to cancer which took the lives of moe biden. tonight, the first lady, giving an interview to the newsmax. a conservative cable
according to the washington post, but when it s time for the general election is the trump stamp of approval a maga scarlet letter. apparently some republicans think so. and now even the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is warning republicans may not retake the senate. let s discuss this with former republican congresswoman barbara comstock and former adviser for president, david gergen. congressman, what do you think about this? i know you used to serve in a sort of a swing district there in the northern virginia suburbs, kind of near where i grew up there in fairfax county. what do you think? it seems like a lot of these candidates are treating donald trump like beetlejuice try not to say his name too many times. what do you think? how should they handle this? well, certainly in the districts that make the majority, the swing and the purple districts, donald trump is an albatross, so you already have the situation in these purple states where, you know,
that s how we win. that s how we are successful. put it back with the rural areas. what does it do for donald trump? i think the republicans have a huge chance to win in 22, and 24, trump is the least likely republican to give them a chance to win back the white house. somebody who can do what youngkin did. put the coalition together. rural counties and tlook at the ticket. people who look like america, the african-american woman we just elected to lieutenant governor, the hispanic that we just elected to attorney general. republicans have solved the coalition problem in virginia. suburbs, white, black, rural, his hispanic, it s how we win fumpt follow the youngkin blue print, you c can do it.
