will: seems a huge mistake to nationalize this election. the democrats want to make this about trump and biden. what a mistake. sean: i think it s an interesting issue because they try to nationalize it because when you go to local issues, you go to loudoun county and you talk about school choice and whether parents have a right to dictate the kind of education their kids receive vs. school boards, they are like this is a disaster for us. maybe if we can nationalize it and remember virginia, you hate donald trump. we re not donald trump. and youngkin is trump. that s a play they are trying to make. if you think about in this article pointed this out as well. democrats tried that in 2020 as well for congressional candidates. it didn t work. we picked republicans picked up a lot of seats in 2020 that we were supposed to lose because the tie from trump to the congressional candidate wasn t successful. it s not successful tying young down donald trump either. rachel: especially when you
