he goes to capitol hill, delays his trip, and he didn t get the infrastructure bill. what happened? what happened is that the progressives came out unanimously supporting what was in the framework. they just had to see it. they had to look at the language which was released on friday. now he can say he can go to cop, to glasgow and say that he has 100% unanimity in the democratic caucus in the house. that is really bringing people together over this agenda. so i think it s really if you had told me, chuck, we would be arguing about when exactly the vote was going to happen or what the sequence was rather than what s in it, i would have been surprised. here we are. the sequence is not it s not insignificant. i want to put up something. app gail spanberger is a member
of the expanded child tax credit. no one got everything they wanted including me. that s what compromise is. that s consensus. but so far the bill is primarily being defined by what s not in it, tuition-free community college, broader expansion of medicare, lower prescription drug prices, and paid family and medical leave. we re one of the few industrial countries in the world that don t have paid leave. if paid leave isn t in the bill, it would be devastating for working women and parents. on tuesday, biden s agenda will get its first political test at the polls. according to a washington post /schar school polls, the governor s race in a state biden won by ten points is a pure toss-up. bring this baby home for me. we re going to send a shock wave across this country. certainly not everything going on in the white house is going smoothly. there s no argument about that. i don t think taking a step
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
good morning, chuck. duval county, essentially jacksonville, florida, is a sprawling suburban area that is as purple as purple gets. it wasn t always that way. this is a traditionally republican stronghold that democrats flipped in 2018 and president biden won in 2020. now it s the source of a major battle between both political parties. republicans are trying to reverse the trend they ve been seeing, pointing to issues like immigration, inflation, and the labor shortage, hoping moderate voters will end upcoming home, and democrats are pointing to congress and pleading with them to pass president biden s agenda saying inaction could threaten the trends that they ve been seeing, especially with the increased population and more diverse population here in this county. chuck. thank you, shaq. you can see our full county-to-county kickoff on meet the press reports, available any time on peacock.
just like donald trump, and that s why donald trump, his final campaign will be for glenn youngkin here in virginia. we don t want swamp, we don t want youngkin. we don t want the hatred and division. friday night you were talking unpaid family leave and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. you bet. these are two issues not in the bigger social spending agenda that the president is trying to get congress to support. i m just curious, what has this debate done to your campaign? has it been a bit debilitating? people are not when i travel around virginia, they re not asking about what s going on in washington. obviously everybody would like to see these bills passed. i d love it as governor to get the $7 billion for roads here for the commonwealth of virginia. what i get asked about is covid. i m running against an anti-vaxer. i believe teachers, doctors,
