you are not part of it. you see this in everything they do. here is a senile president and a vp no one likes. deal with it, america. in the case of virginia, just six weeks ago, a low iq washington post columnist called jennifer rubin assured us that an endorsement from some has been functionary in dan quayle s office from the 1980s was going to make all the difference for terry mcauliffe. the bill kristol endorsement will be big, rubin announced on twitter. trust me. it is hard to believe that is real. but it is entirely real. and it is exactly why they lost last night. glenn youngkin will join us in just a moment here on the show, but first we want to go as we always do and for good reason to brit hume, fox news senior coroner analyst who joins us tonight. you were assessing what might happen in this race, you said if mcauliffe loses, this is a massive story. do you still feel that way, and if so, how big? i do, tucker.
make the ask, didn t push for this, they didn t commit to this. that s why they re trying to push this vote to tuesday, because if terry mcauliffe loses, there s no way these mod rates vote for this. this recrimination, how concerned are you that it becomes a circular finger-pointing? are you kidding me? if terry mcauliffe loses, it s katy bar the door. it s the deluge. it s a panic button. the last time a democrat lost virginia, we lost 60 seats in the house. 2009. it s going to be a circular pointing squad. you have the white house saying, look, if mcauliffe loses, it s not on us. mcauliffe is saying get in a room and figure this out, and i ve been speaking to virginia voters who are saying they re sick of the intransigence. i ve got to pause it there. that was very lively. we ll pick it up. kristen and i will anchor an election night special on nbc news now and on peacock
this week? and b has any implications for the virginia governor s race? i think it s sort of the opposite, one, i can t predict what will happen, but it will be difficult cult for them to be get this past, it s possible the go change are ongoing, but here s the reason, in this is why i say it s kind of the reverse. the problem for democratic leaders in congress, if terry mcauliffe loses, it is going to be more difficult to pass either of these bills, certainly both of these. bills because they ll be for next november in the midterms, and they will become more skittish about what they re willing to vote for. i think that the idea to try to get it moving as fast as possible, before these electoral results get, it is to make sure that it doesn t prevent them from getting both of these bills, done if mcauliffe loses, and just for some context here, i don t think anyone is predicting a ten-point terry mcauliffe win.
is right now, democrats know it is a real harbinger for what could happen next year given biden s continually sinking numbers in the polls. if mcauliffe loses, you will see democrats hitting the panic button very quickly. arthel: even with his sinking poll numbers, president biden went to virginia to campaign for mcauliffe. meanwhile, youngkin is keeping former president trump who runs the republican party at arm s length. i mean, he s only going to do a telerally for youngkin tomorrow, a bunch of phone calls to supporters. is there anything on the line more that you want to say in terms of the 2024 presidential race? what are the indicators? do you feel, you know, that if in fact because i mean, you know how this is going to play out in the immediate aftermath. if youngkin wins, and former president trump is going to say, you know, i kind of gave him some endorsements in my distant way, so that s why he won. if youngkin loses, president trump goes this guy s a loser. i m the winne
