what s that? you? they re going to help pay for my hearing aid. we look though at the specifics. democrats have learned. we always think the virginia races and new jersey races a year later. it s a great sort of midterm report. rosetta s stones for what about to happen. democrats have learned. you can t just talk about trump. they can talk about expanding medicare and you know healthcare costs. prescription drugs going down. gosar, absolutely a vile thing he did. when democrats talking about
him and chris cuomo on the air consultant the governor on how to beat sexual harassment allegations but this is the guy we should be speaking to. he s labeled an anchor. he is not. he is a partisan opinion host and given the latest commentary he called parents in the virginia races accused them of wanting to ban rapid books, not surprising to see this anchor see everything through a racial present because that is what critical race theory teaches and that is the opposite of what martin luther king jr. used to preach, we should judge people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin but that is the tempo of cnn to do everything through a racial prism and the what chris cuomo, 80% of his audience since the beginning of the year, that s what happens
was it a sign of strength or a warning sign of mcauliffe? we ll find out a week from now. the backdrop for all of this. joe biden, his standing nationally and these virginia races and especially virginia, they tend to function a lot like midterm elections do. biden s approval nationally at 42%. virginia, a little better, 45%. that s what democrats in 2017 won by 9 points of the virginia s race, democrats was at a 40% in virginia. that helped democrats greatly. this year the president has 45%. we ll see if that hurts them. steve, both candidates have nationalize this race. you got terry mcauliffe bringing

tonight. there are quite a few counties where he did that, but again they are smaller population too. and if you re the democrat and you re making the kind of gains that beshear made in the cincinnati suburbs and you re just getting the sheer numbers that he s getting out of jefferson, out of fayette county there, lexington, that s going to take you a long way. there it is, 32,000 votes right now, still with that lead. i was just looking to see if anything more came in. final question here. we haven t gotten much in from mississippi yet, although there are some virginia races, right? it does look like those state house and state senate at least democrats are well positioned to possibly flip that? yeah, i ve got to be a little careful because nbc news doesn t do state legislative races so we re not making any characterization of what s happening. we are relying on or at least taking our cues from the associated press which right now hasn t called it. i ve certainy seen what you ve s
