  Speaker 1: We recognize the eyes of the nation are on this race,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and I think this is a clear test about how
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: much we value freedom, how much we cherish our democracy,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and how much we're willing to push back on Donald Trump,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: who's been o viscerating both.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: So Democrats are calling in the heavy hitters as the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: campaign clock ticks down. In those two governors' races we've
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: been talking about. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikey Cheryl is
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: getting a boost from Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro as well
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: as Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. Today it's a test drive
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of sorts for the next generation of Democratic leaders as
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the party searches for someone to match President Trump's hold
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: on the GOP. Let's bring in Fox News contributor Byron
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: york soron Mikey Cheryl bringing in a fellow, well, a governor,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: she's not governor yet, but bringing in the governor of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania and bringing in an Arizona senator to bolster her campaign.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: How do you assess what they'll do for her?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I think you have to look at both this
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: campaign in New Jersey and the Virginia campaign. Have to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: look at both of them in terms of the Democrats
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: epic struggle against President Trump right now. The President has
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: had all the power and all the momentum this year,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and Democrats really hope that a couple of victories in
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: New Jersey Virginia would show that they're not dead, that
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: they have momentum, some momentum going into next year's midterms.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: So I think the reason you're seeing these Democratic stars
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: go to campaign in New Jersey Virginia is for the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: sake of the larger party to get just some sort
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: of electoral foothold against Donald Trump right now.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, Ken Martin,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: basically echoed that thought. He says, they're going to springboard
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: with these victories.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Listen, it will spring board us into the twenty twenty
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: six elections with a lot of additional momentum and energy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: But we're already seeing that throughout the country. We're on
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the ground turning out every single vote in places like Pennsylvania, Virginia,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: New Jersey. I was just in LA yesterday turning out
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: votes on Prop fifty. And we're going to do everything
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: work can. We're not taking anything for granted, despite the
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: fact that we have winded our back.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We have winded our back. He says, what do you
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: think about that?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Not sure I would totally agree with that. Neither of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: these candidates, Cheryl or Spenbergers, is super strong. If you
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: look at the New Jersey race, Cheryl has about a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: four point lead over Chitdarelli, and huge numbers of Democrats
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: say that Trump is the big issue in the race.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: But if you look at the polling on what the
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: rest of the voters say or big issues economic issues,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the cost of living, jobs, taxes, etc. Most voters seemed
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: to give Chitdarelli the edge over who would handle them
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the best. Now in Virginia, you know you have just
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a bit of a mess. You have Jay Jones, the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Democratic candidate for attorney General, saying using all these texts,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: these sort of murderous texts that he sent out a
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: while back, plus plus getting easy treatment in a speeding
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: case in which he was caught driving one hundred and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: sixteen miles an hour in a seventy mile an hour range.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: He has actually fallen behind in his race, but the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: governor candidate, Spanberger is up by about seven points significant lead,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: although it's about five points less than it was a
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: couple of months ago, so right now the momentum does
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: not seem to be on the Democratic side.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: President Trump was holding a tell rally last evening with
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Jack Chitterrelly, the Republican candidate in New Jersey. Here's what
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the President had to say about it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Twenty four of my campaign received the most votes for
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: a Republican presidential candidate in New Jersey's history. There's never
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: been a candidate for president or for any other office.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: I must tell you that received anywhere near the number
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: of votes that I got. So people like me there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: It's typically not that Republican, but turning Republican very quickly,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: and I have to say the registrations for the Republican
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Party are starring.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Of course, he's been well known in New York as
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a developer for decades, but you know, he says that
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: things are turning red in New Jersey. Would you argue
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: with that?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Trump really made an effort in New
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Jersey in the twenty twenty four election, had a huge
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: rally on the shore, and obviously campaigned also in New
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: York next door. So that was kind of unusual campaigning
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: for a Republican president, and I think clearly. Even though
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: obviously Democrats are just almost unanimously united against him, the
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: President's endorsement and his supports still a big thing for
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Republicans in New Jersey and with some independence, so it
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: certainly doesn't hurt what Trump is doing. And the question
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: is going to be whether they're just enough Republicans and
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: independents to get over all the Democrats who were so
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: motivated to vote against Donald Trump.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be an interesting race to watch.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: We had Mikey Cheryl up their lives. She's having a
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: rally in New Jersey right now. She's a Democrat candidate obviously,
