they were making huge gains in fairfax and loudon and a few other places. can the republicans make inroads? can they win back the support before donald trump came along? can they arrest the donald trump backlash in these places? that's what greg youngkin needs to do. republicans are going to be paying close attention. if glenn youngkin can show a path to winning back the republican support in the suburbs, if he can show a way to do that in virginia, they'll think here's a road map for how to do it nationally. if republicans are going to get back the house in 2022, they'll have to do that in suburbs all across the country. that's a big test tuesday night. virginia has high population areas where there was a huge backlash against donald trump. that's one of the tests. we're paying close attention to that. >> we are. thanks to you as well, steve. >>> biden's build back better plan, what's in it and why a lot of people might like it, next. . the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination. uh, i-i'm actually just going to ge
