an architect of those winning strategies is david plouffe, barack obama's 2008 campaign manager, a former senior adviser in the white house, and someone who all democrats turn to for insight and counsel. so interesting to have you on the big night. >> election night 2021. >> 2021. >> there we go. >> let's start with that comparison. obama and mcauliffe were under water, as you experts like to say. but managed to win. could terry mcauliffe pull that off tonight or is it different? >> no, he could. i think the question here is, this is a -- 2013 was a tough environment for terry, too. but you know, we just can't compare this election night to a year ago. okay. i think a lot of americans, including virginia, thought we would be largely done with the pandemic. delta reared its head. the economy is growing, but not as quickly as we would like. gas prices, which i will tell you, when gas prices are this high before an election, voters are really cranky. other cost of living matters. terry is a repeat candidate. that doesn't work as well these days as it used to. a bunch of things that make the

but it was a big enough deal that it is something the newly-elected president, barack obama, reflected on publicly when he trotted out on inauguration night, on that big night, to what was then called the youth ball, to share how he knew that and what it meant for the future. so on this journey tonight, thinking about this set of generations and the youth, he gets the last word. >> young people everywhere are in the process of imagining something different than what has come before. [ cheers and applause ] where they imagine bigotry, they imagine togetherness. where there is disease, they imagine a public health system. i can't tell you how many people have come up to michelle and myself and said, you know, i was kind of skeptical, but then my daughter, she wouldn't budge. she just told me, i needed to vote for obama. and so a new generation inspired previous generations. and that's how change happens in america. [ cheers and applause ] >>> coming up next we are joined by a global music sensation. his name is lil baby. his music is popular among all generations around the world. he's a

barack obama's memoir sold over 3 million copies in the first month. christie is not looking at obama numbers or looking at a million or half a million or 100,000. the results are in and this book moved about some saying it's kin to not publishing a book at all. it looks like the publisher won't even break even. the book is a money loser and has some in the party thinking christie or mr. 2 k looks like a loser of a potential candidate. his media tour featured him meanwhile trying to claim independence but also defending maga figures like trump and tucker carlson. >> the book is called it's about conspiracies and lies and you really don't take on fox news. why not? >> look, because the book -- >> tucker carlson -- >> because the book -- i don't watch it. >> are you aware of what he does? >> not really. i don't pay a lot of attention to it. >> christie says he doesn't pay a lot of attention to fox news. well, the news tonight is republicans and most americans are paying zero attention to chris christie. we'll be right back with one more thing. we'll be r

after the 2010 loss, there were people on the left who were literally writing op-eds saying barack obama shouldn't run for president again. those are sort of crazy hot takes that you get in all this and not understand this pattern. and the question is can we break this pattern and how do we go about breaking this pattern because what you've talked about is right. the party in power gets punished the next year there's a historical trend there. but what i would say is different about what's happening now, ari, this is really important for us to understand, is we actually have to break that trajectory because, ari, we don't break that going into this midterm, it may well be the last sort of midterm or end of democracy as we know it because if you look at what republicans are doing across these states and you know, in the state legislative bodies and if you look at that, if we can't stop that from the federal level, we don't know what 2024 is going to look like. we may have a next presidential election where, where if republicans are in control, they actually throw out the votes and they put

i think that barack obama was both confident and different than other politicians, but, boy, you better be popping out and cocky and excited and selling what you did because people want to know where their money is going. it's interesting if you do the obama comparison that michelle makes because we pulled video in front of the same bridge when they were appealing for more infrastructure spending all the way back then. take a look. >> behind us stands the ben spence bridge that it's in such poor condition it's labeled functionally obsolete. >> and replacing the bridge in cincinnati, you like that, critical to the region. >> this will be the first time i have come up here in a quarter of a century where i thought maybe there was a way forward on the brent spence bridge. >> i've got to tell you, gene, that's a lot of people who know about this bridge but never funded it revitalization. it's striking to see biden winning on it and of all people, mitch mcconnell, who was for it after he was against it, coming around saying maybe we're going to fix this thing with biden money. >> right, beca
