yup! i m hiding from my kids, as we speak. in tonight s edition of that s what they said former president obama is back hitting the trail saturday stumping for gubernatorial candidate terry mcauliffe. this star power could be the key to victory who s stuck in a deadlock race ahead of the november 2nd election. watch. what are you willing to stand up for? when are you willing to say no to your own supporters? when are you willing to say there s some things that are more important than get eeg lected and maybe american democracy is one of those things. [ cheers and applause ] virginia, we got too much to get done. to be dealing with the
about character. and character will end up showing when you actually are in office. reporter: now, at no point during obama s speech did he mention his successor, former president donald trump, but mcauliffe, the democratic candidate here, certainly did. repeatedly hitting trump and tying him to glenn youngkin. at one point saying that yo youngkin, his opponent is just donald trump in khakis. this event was not necessarily about persuasion. many of the people here had already voted or intend to vote for mcauliffe on the november 2nd election. this is more about turnout. this is a city that obama won overwhelmingly in 2008 and 2012, and that is why he is here, urging voters, some of whom are very tired with politics, something he himself admitted he was tired as well, urging them to come out and vote, because this election, as he said, is just too important. dan merica, cnn, richmond. but on his end, youngkin is largely trying not to nationalize the race. as eva mccann reports, his
okey-doke. here we are trying to recover from a global pandemic that has killed more than 700,000 americans. that shut down thousands of small businesses and put millions out of work. we don t have time to be wasting on these phony trumped up culture wars. this fake outrage. the right wing media peddled to juice ratings and the fact he s willing to go along with it instead of talking about serious problems that actually affect serious people, that s a shame. that s not what this election is about. that s not what you need, virginia. instead of forcing our communities to cut back at a time when we re just starting to recover we should be doing more to support people who are educating our kids and keeping our neighborhoods safe! [ cheers and applause ] instead of spreading
rights. we ab you know, the idea of voter suppression and election, you know, eliminating, you know, election fairness, you know, as veterans those are values to our us veteran, that are near and dear to our hearts, and at the base of that and i watched your other two guests talk about the filibuster and senator king talk about the imbalance of representation. yeah. and i m 100% behind all that. i agree 100%, and so the fill filibuster needs to go as a first important step. without the filibuster going we get no voter rights and without voter rights we have no democracy. those are the connecting dots that i look at and i see, and those are important obviously to me as an american, but again,
is there a way she can win back your support and get you back on the advisory council or is it too little too late? the council, a little bit, to little too late. that s a bridge we ve crossed, but we continue to encourage her to step up and get behind the president s agenda. it s a he s proposing a government for the 21st century. things that we need. things that working people need. things that veterans need. and at the base of all of that is voting rights. we absolutely you know the idea of voter suppression and election you know eliminating, you know, election fairness, know, it s veterans. those are values to us veterans
