McAuliffe, Youngkin camps prepare to challenge results of too-close-to-call Virginia governor race

GOP gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin is slamming his opponent, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, over his campaign's hiring of Marc Elias, a Clinton-affiliated lawyer who has worked on election challenges in the past.

"This is right out of his playbook. I mean, he wrote it, and this is what a failing politician does when they see the sun setting on their 43-year political career," Youngkin said over the weekend on Fox News.

"The Virginia voters are absolutely making a bold statement and this is not going to be a close election, you can just see us pulling away," he added, referring to a recent Fox News poll showing him leading by 8 points.

"This is going to be a big statement and a lawyer here and there that my opponent hires is not going to make a difference because this is going to be an overwhelming victory," he said.
